Yamaha History

Torakusu Yamaha, bas-relief, and the organ assembly process for Yamaha pianos
Yamaha is one of the most popular and consistent pianos on the market. Their clear tone and responsive touch makes a Yamaha perfect for almost any situation. Even though Yamaha builds everything from pianos to motorcycles, their foundation is rooted in music.
Yamaha’s story begins when its founder, Torakusu Yamaha, successfully repaired a reed organ in 1887. Not too long after, Mr. Yamaha completed Japan’s first reed organ. From their Yamaha established his own company and started building pianos around 1900.  Since then Yamaha has always kept the signature tuning forks in their logo to represent their foundation and commitment to music. Ellis Piano is proud to carry these wonderful instruments and we invite you to try them for yourself.
