Description
Yamaha Corporation is a Japanese multinational conglomerate with a wide range of products and services. It is the world's largest manufacturer of musical instruments, including pianos, drums, guitars, and violins, etc.
History
Founded in 1887 as a piano manufacturer, Yamaha was incorporated a decade later in 1897. Its logo today of a trio of interlocking tuning forks reflects this heritage.

In 1983, Yamaha made the first commercially successful digital synthesizer, the Yamaha DX7. In 1988, it shipped the world's first CD recorder.
