"I heard that Yamaha pianos are made in China now..."
We thought it might be helpful to clear this up; some buyers are very sensitive to this subject!
Yamaha has been building pianos in Japan for 112 years, and continues to
make thousands of pianos there each year in Hamamatsu. They also have factories in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Hangzhou, China.
Models built in Japan:
All "U"-series uprights, every model of grand piano except 5' size
Models built in Jakarta:
GB1K 5' baby grand, "CN"-series upright and baby grand pianos
Models built in Hangzhou:
"T", "M", and "P"-series uprights
Unlike almost any other manufacturer in the world, Yamaha engineers and fabricates their own pianos without relying on suppliers and vendors for parts. The quality control standards (ISO) at each of their facilities are beyond world-class.
"When it comes to Yamaha pianos, it's not the country of origin, but the company of origin that counts"Please click here to learn more about Yamaha's fascinating history!You can call us at (858)586-7000 any time with questions about any model.
