The vision of the brand to provide rich and harmonious experience to its users base while keeping the pricing at everyone's reach is the key of this long term success of the company.
The idea of the brand was planted when Torakusu Yamaha (founder) repaired a reef organ of a local elementary school (1887).
While going through the mechanism and harmonic sound setting of the reef-organ, Torakusu got the vision to craft his own musical instrument, with the highest quality possible.
The most motivational and inspirational part of Torakusu Yamaha story is when he carried the organ on the back, of a pole and crossed the Hakone mountain to deliver it back to the school.
