Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd. ( currently Yamaha Corporation) was established in 1897. Yamaha has accumulated a wealth of expertise in the production of musical instruments for more than 100 years. It is with pleasure that we continue to fulfill our mission: contributing to a richer life for all, via innovative, quality products and technology which is a de facto standard.

Since 1900, when Yamaha first began to manufacture pianos, the company has created a full line of quality pianos that have won the trust and support of dealers and customers around the world. In 1991, Yamaha's piano production passed the five million mark.



In 1986 Yamaha developed the Disklavier piano, a combination of acoustic piano and electronic technology. In 1993, the epoch-making Silent Series Piano debuted, acoustic pianos capable of playing in complete silence. Yamaha is making efforts to create new demand in the piano market.

In 1993, Silent Series Piano was launched. With Yamaha's Silent Series Pianos, the pianist can "turn off the sound" while listening to himself/herself play through stereo headphones to real time digital reproduction. The Silent Series is designed not only to overcome the limitations of living in confined urban environments, but to maintain the player's privacy within his/her family.



In 1995, Silent Brass system was marketed. Silent Brass system allows players to enjoy a rich, full sound via headphone, while muting the instrument's external sound.
