The history of Yamaha

YAMAHA began more than a hundred years ago in Japan, in 1887, when Torakusu Yamaha built his first organ. Since then, Yamaha Corporation (formerly Nippon Gakki & Co, Ltd.) has continued to grow and has become the world's largest manufacturer of a complete range of musical instruments.

Yamaha is also a pioneer in the production of audio/video products, semiconductors, and other technologies related to motor vehicles, computing, sports equipment, furniture and household appliances, special metals, machine tools, and industrial robots.

Additionally, Yamaha owns and manages several recreational parks and cultural centers in Japan. Since the establishment of the Yamaha Music Foundation in 1966, Yamaha has been strongly committed to promoting and supporting music education and musical development. Today, Yamaha has more than 686,000 students in over 40 countries. This dedication sets Yamaha apart from its competitors.
