About Yamaha Corporation

Yamaha began over one hundred years ago when a young
entrepreneur named Torakusu Yamaha set out to craft a high-quality reed
organ. Before long, the company he founded had not only gone on to
manufacture Japan's first piano, it had also gained recognition abroad: In
1904, a Yamaha piano and organ were awarded an Honorary Grand Prize at the
St. Louis World's Fair. From these auspicious beginnings, Yamaha grew to
become one of the best-loved manufacturers of musical instruments in the
world. And as it grew, the company capitalized on a unique heritage of
artisanship and technological know-how to diversify into an astoundingly wide
range of products and services. Today, Yamaha is a leader in businesses
ranging from musical instruments and audio & video products to information
technology products, new media services, home furnishings, auto components,
specialty metals, music education and resort facilities. Yet, true to their
musical origins, no matter what business they take on -- or what country they
do business in -- they seek to remain perfectly attuned to a set of common
values that define the World of Yamaha.
