Yamaha’s history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yamaha, one of the world’s most famous brands, has an incredibly fascinating history that dates back to 1887. The company’s founder, Torakusu Yamaha<\/strong>, built Japan’s first pipe organ after managing to repair a broken one. This event ushered in a new era for music and instrument making in Japan. In 1889, the Yamaha Fukin Seizoujo<\/strong> Company was officially established, which later became the Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few years later, in 1900, Yamaha began manufacturing pianos. Which laid the foundations for their future success in the keyboard instrument industry. It is worth mentioning that the company’s distinctive symbol – a Chinese phoenix holding a camerto<\/strong>. It appeared as early as 1898 and remains its recognisable mark to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
