Yamaha reintroduced the classic Cable-Nelson brand in 2006. Presented as the entry-level to Yamaha quality, this revived brand is produced at the new Yamaha factory outside of Shanghai, China, with all design and manufacture executed by Yamaha using Yamaha employees and equipment. The Cable-Nelson product offers the same 10-year warranty as other Yamaha brands, with the full support of Yamaha Corporation of America.

The Cable-Nelson brand traces its roots to 1903 in Chicago, when Fayette S. Cable purchased two small piano companies. These companies, Lakeside Piano Company and Sweetland Piano Company, then became the Fayette S. Cable Piano Company. The Cable-Nelson brand resulted from a merger with the Nelson Piano Company in 1905.

“After a quarter-century absence, this classic American brand enjoys new life supported by outstanding Yamaha design and craftsmanship,” says Bernie McCaffery, Acoustic Piano marketing manager, Piano Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Customers can expect to receive the quality they expect from Yamaha at a very attractive price.”
