[Pavido Scalf]

YamahaGuitar Group, Inc. is committed to providing the best products for guitar players through several distinct brands: Yamaha, Line 6, and Ampeg, as well as the brands of Crdoba Music Group: Crdoba and Guild guitars, HumiCase instrument cases, and DeArmond pickups.

This was my seventh show with Yamaha. My first experience blew my mind. Yamaha literally took up an entire ballroom in the Marriott Hotel with two performance stages and isolation booths for guitar and piano demonstrations, along with the most incredible display of what seemed like the entire range of Yamaha products. (Yamaha also manufactures live and studio sound reinforcement gear, as well as everything band-related.) My first main stage performance there was flanked by two high-performance motorcycles, a pristine audio backline and a full touring rig including lighting.

Beforehand, I had prepared backing tracks to jam with; these also doubled as a great way to hear the pro audio products in a real-world performance situation. I also had the honor to perform briefly for Mr. Takuya Nakata, President of Yamaha Corporation Japan, as well as other executives from Japan.

For me, the highlight of the show was the launch of the new flagship line of FG9 Series acoustic guitars. These extraordinary axes feature Adirondack spruce tops, ebony fingerboard and bridge, scalloped X bracing, bone nut and saddle, and a nitrocellulose finish. There are two models: the FG9 R, which sports solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and the FG9 M, which features a mahogany back and sides.

Attendees to the Yamaha display were also treated to some of the very best in live music. On the main stage, Line 6 processors and Catalyst combo amps added a cool mix of the current modeling technology, juxtaposed against the classic tube tone of an Ampeg bass rig.

Bluegrass masterclass performances by Jordan Tice and Jake Eddy let everyone hear just how incredible the new FG9 guitars are (see the video below), and the stunning hybrid techniques and musical brilliance of rock-fusion maestro Matteo Mancuso had many of the guitar players in the audience threatening to give up and take a day job.

When a pair of these wonderful instruments arrive at my studio in the coming days, I plan on recording a pop-rock duet that shows another side to these finely tuned instruments. Stay tuned to this space!

With their ever more impressive lineup of guitars, Yamaha manages to refine and honor the art of traditional lutherie, while expanding the possibilities of our beloved six-string instrument with modern technology.

When played without its onboard effects engaged, the CSF-TA delivered plenty of overtones. It was especially well-suited to fingerstyle playing and quiet vocal accompaniment. With a tight bass response and a warm midrange, the CSF offered good tonal balance. This was especially welcome on single-note lines. Based on the guitar I tested, the CSF, even without effects, would shine as a lead instrument for blues, country, and jazz. For pop and rock, strummed open chords rang nicely with a light to moderate attack. But as with many small guitars, it got overwhelmed and sounded a bit boxy when I laid into it too hard.

At around $700 street, the CFS-TA is a solid value in a cleanly built, highly playable acoustic guitar that delivers good sound and can handle a surprisingly wide range of musical situations. The TransAcoustic system adds sonic power without detracting from the simplicity that makes parlor guitars so appealing in the first place.

It is one of the constituents of Nikkei 225 and is the world's largest musical instrument manufacturing company.[2] The former motorcycle division was established in 1955 as Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., which started as an affiliated company but later became independent.

After World War II, company president Genichi Kawakami repurposed the remains of the company's war-time production machinery and the company's expertise in metallurgical technologies to the manufacture of motorcycles. The YA-1 (AKA Akatombo, the "Red Dragonfly"), of which 125 were built in the first year of production (1954), was named in honour of the founder. It was a 125cc, single cylinder, two-stroke street bike patterned after the German DKW RT 125 (which the British munitions firm, BSA, had also copied in the post-war era and manufactured as the Bantam and Harley-Davidson as the Hummer). In 1955,[6] the success of the YA-1 resulted in the founding of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., splitting the motorcycle division from the company. Also, in 1954 the Yamaha Music School was founded.[3]

Yamaha has grown into the world's largest manufacturer of musical instruments (including pianos, "silent" pianos, drums, guitars, brass instruments, woodwinds, violins, violas, cellos, and vibraphones), and a leading manufacturer of semiconductors, audio/visual, computer related products, sporting goods, home appliances, specialty metals, and industrial robots.[7] Yamaha released the Yamaha CS-80 in 1977.

In 1988, Yamaha shipped the world's first CD recorder.[8] Yamaha purchased Sequential Circuits in 1988.[9] It bought a majority stake (51%) of competitor Korg in 1987, which was bought out by Korg in 1993.[10]

In the late 1990s, Yamaha released a series of portable battery operated keyboards under the PSS and the PSR range of keyboards. The Yamaha PSS-14 and PSS-15 keyboards were upgrades to the Yamaha PSS-7 with short demo songs, short selectable phrases, and sound effects.[11]

In January 2005, it acquired German audio software manufacturer Steinberg from Pinnacle Systems. In July 2007, Yamaha bought out the minority shareholding of the Kemble family in Yamaha-Kemble Music (UK) Ltd, Yamaha's UK import and musical instrument and professional audio equipment sales division. It was renamed Yamaha Music U.K. Ltd in late 2007.[13] Kemble & Co. Ltd, the UK piano sales & manufacturing arm, was unaffected.[14]

On 20 December 2007, Yamaha made an agreement with the Austrian Bank BAWAG PSK Gruppe to purchase all the shares of Bsendorfer,[15] with Yamaha intending to continue manufacturing at the Bsendorfer facilities in Austria.[16] The acquisition was announced on 28 January 2008, after the NAMM Show in Los Angeles. As of 1 February 2008, Bsendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH operates as a subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation.[17]

Yamaha electronics have proven to be successful, popular, and respected products. For example, the Yamaha YPG-625 was awarded "Keyboard of the Year" and "Product of the Year" in 2007 from The Music and Sound Retailer magazine.[18] Other noteworthy Yamaha electronics include the SHS-10 Keytar, a consumer-priced keytar which offered MIDI output features normally found on much more expensive keyboards.

Kandō (感動) is a Japanese word used by Yamaha Corporation to describe its corporate mission. Kandō is the sensation of profound excitement and gratification derived from experiencing supreme quality and performance.[19] Some reasonable English equivalents are "emotionally touching" or "emotionally moving".

Yamaha Corporation is widely known for its music teaching program that began in the 1954. In a continuation of that program, the Yamaha Music Foundation was established by the authority of the Japanese Ministry of Education for the purpose of promoting music education and music popularization In 1966.[20]

The company began by manufacturing high-end furniture based on its expertise in wood processing for piano manufacturing, and was spun off into a separate company in 1991 with the establishment of YAMAHA Livingtec (YLT). The company manufactured and sold unit baths, system kitchens, and other products. In 1992, the company decided to stop selling system furniture, and after narrowing down its product lineup, it terminated orders and production in 2005 March.[22]

In 2010, Yamaha sold its 85.1% stake in YLT to Japan Industrial Partners and three foreign investment funds as part of a restructuring. At this point, the YAMAHA brand and company name continued, but the company essentially withdrew from management. Subsequently, YLT conducted a MBO of the investments of Yamaha and the investment funds, and the company name was changed as of 1 October 2013[23][24] and withdrew from the housing equipment business in both name and reality.

Yamaha began the sale and production of Vocaloid applications, starting with Lily which was later sold via Internet Co., Ltd.'s website. Their involvement continued with the VY series, with VY1 being the first, released in deluxe and standard editions on 1 September 2010.[26] The VY series is a series designed to be a high quality product for professional musicians. The series is also designed with the intention to set a new standard for the Vocaloids for having no face, sex, or set voice, but are designed to complete any song.[27] VY1 has a new approach to how the software handled the database of samples and improved the performance of the Vocaloid 2 engine.

Yamaha announced a version of the Vocaloid 2 software for the iPhone and iPad, which exhibited at the Y2 Autumn 2010 Digital Content Expo in Japan.[28][29] Later, this version of the software was released using the VY1 voice.[30][31] VY2 will also be released for this version of the software.[32]

In Japan, the company maintains three factories for musical instrument manufacture, engine and various vehicle manufacture (motorcycles and marine products), with all factories located in Shizuoka Prefecture.

2020 marks two related anniversaries for Yamaha Guitars: the 30th anniversary of Yamaha Guitar Development - our Los Angeles custom shop - and the 30th anniversary of the Attitude series. The signature bass of the singular Billy Sheehan, the Attitude was one of the first production instruments developed by YGD.

In celebration of International Women's Day 2020 we celebrated by shining a spotlight on some awesome women who kill it in their field. These 5 Yamaha artists from different cities around the globe each gave us an insight into their lives as musicians: their inspirations, creative process, and what drives them as artists.
