Yamaha Corporation is a Japan-based manufacturer of musical instruments, audio equipment and related products. Its portfolio includes pianos, keyboards, guitars, drums, wind and string instruments, professional and consumer audio equipment, and products for music production and sound reinforcement. The company also provides music education and other services connected with musical performance and audio technology.
The company traces its origins to 1887, when Torakusu Yamaha built a reed organ in Hamamatsu, Japan. It was incorporated as Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd. in 1897 and adopted the Yamaha Corporation name in 1987. Yamaha has since developed into a global brand serving individual musicians, schools, professional performers, recording and entertainment businesses, and commercial and institutional customers.
Yamaha sells its products through distributors, retailers and other channels across Japan and international markets, with operations and customers throughout Asia, North America, Europe and other regions. The company is separate from Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., which manufactures motorcycles, marine products and other motorized equipment.
