Yamaha Annual Report 2007 0403
It all started in 1887 with a broken
reed organ. The man who repaired
it was our founder, Torakusu
Yamaha.
In the 120 years since, Yamaha
has grown to become the world’s
leading comprehensive musical
instrument manufacturer,
supplying a full line-up of acoustic
and digital musical instruments.
To help as many people as
possible experience the joy of
playing an instrument, the Yamaha
name has also been associated
with a chain of music schools
since 1954. Initially these offered
children experimental music
lessons with the organ. Today, the
Yamaha music school network
spans more than 40 countries and
regions, and provides tuition to
over 700,000 students of all ages.
