Located near Hamamatsu in central Japan, Toyo-oka is the largest
and most modern wind instrument plant in the world. The Toyo-oka
factory has been producing wind instruments such as Flutes,
Clarinets, Saxophones, Trumpets, and Trombones since its opening
in 1970. Although many of the manufacturing processes involve
computer controlled automated systems, final assembly and
adjustment are done entirely by hand. And every Yamaha wind
instrument receives individual testing and inspection before
it is allowed out of the factory. |

Yamaha maintains a worldwide network of Ateliers and Custom
Shops staffed by fulltime R&D experts. With a reputation for
excellence in the repair and adjustment of wind instruments,
these facilities provide musicians with a place where they
can communicate their ideas and needs directly to Yamaha technicians.
Some of those suggestions will eventually become incorporated
into the design of our professional model instruments. Yamaha
maintains these facilities in Tokyo (Japan), Frankfurt (Germany),
Vienna (Austria), New York (U.S.A.), Los Angeles (U.S.A.)
Paris (France) as well as a large Custom Shop for handmade instruments located
besides our Toyooka plant in Japan.
