The Yamaha 'Total Approach'

A total approach to piano-making Unlike most manufacturers, Yamaha takes a 'total approach' to piano-making, retaining complete control over virtually every component at every stage of production—we even build much of the production equipment ourselves. Rather than assembling pianos from parts produced by outside concerns, Yamaha designs, tests, evaluates, and manufactures all major parts in-house or at Yamaha subsidiaries and joint ventures. This allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality management, and ensures that the Yamaha piano you select is fully worthy of the Yamaha name.
The Timeless Touch of Expert Craftsmen
One key to the quality inherent in Yamaha pianos is the experience and dedication of our workforce. The finely honed skills and sensitivities of expert Yamaha artisans ensure that every Yamaha piano is flawlessly crafted and perfectly balanced—a pleasure to see, hear, play and own. These craftsmen and technicians pass on their hard-earned expertise to the generations who follow, maintaining an uninterrupted flow of accumulated wisdom that is reflected in every instrument we build. A Rare Breadth of In-Company Know-How Another key element of the Yamaha advantage is the extent of our expertise in related technologies. With well-established Yamaha credentials in fields such as metallurgy, chemistry and electronics, in addition to more obvious areas like acoustics and woodworking, we can leverage extensive resources within the company to help us raise the standards of piano-making and create ever-better instruments, along with a steady stream of new innovations.
