Yamaha began working intensively on the development of wind instruments in 1963, utilizing all aspects of traditional technology to create the world's top class of wind instruments. Today Yamaha is widely recognized as the top brand in wind instruments. In 1967 Yamaha started indepth acoustical research. The findings from this research were quickly applied to processes such as determining ideal body tapers. Precision design using computer simulations has provided us with new methods for improving the intonation of wind instruments.

A combination of craftsmanship and new technologies has enabled Yamaha to mass-produce musical instruments with even, accurate pitch. This means we can produce high-quality products with great consistency. In addition to the basic design, factors such as product materials and working techniques are also taken into account to ensure even pitch and beautiful sound.
