Yamaha


Yamaha Logo

Yamaha is a global corporation with headquarter based in Japan.  Yamaha is best known for manufacturing musical instruments, electronics, and power sports equipment.

Musical instruments include pianos, drums, guitars, brass instruments, woodwinds, violins, violas, and much more.

Point of intrigue -
Yamaha is the world's largest piano manufacturer.

(A further background can be found on Wikipedia.)

Yamaha products date to the late 1800's - from keyboard instruments in 1897 to harmonicas in 1914 to guitars in 1942 to band instruments in 1965 to drums in 1967...and so much more.

The full list of Yamaha products can be found here.

Brand furniture was introduced in 1903.

Yamaha Motor Company launched in 1955.

Brand sporting goods were launched in 1959.

Yamaha Entertainment Group - record company - launched in 2001.

This is where I will leave off.

 Side note - My first keyboard was a Yamaha.  I would play Duran Duran songs in the background and match, to the best of my novice abilities, Nick's performance.  There were a few notes I was able to play alongside.  I am nonetheless still a novice.
