History of Yamaha

The history of Yamaha began in 1887 when founder Torakusu Yamaha succeeded in repairing a reed organ, leading to his success in manufacturing organs. On October 12, 1897, he established the Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., becoming its first president and laying the foundation for the musical instrument business with piano manufacturing.

The first Yamaha wind instrument, the YTR-1 trumpet, was launched in 1966. Exactly 100 years after its founding, in 1987, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd. changed its name to Yamaha Corporation. For more than half a century since then, Yamaha has continued to blend traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, constantly taking on new challenges. Drawing on its long history of expertise and sensitivity, Yamaha has aimed to contribute to enriching the lives of people around the world.
