    Me: I need a flute for my orchestra performance
    Yamaha: No problem, here’s our 800W Series.
    Me: You wouldn’t happen to know where I can
    get a heavy 600 cc sport bike with the stop speed of 260km would you?
    Yamaha: You’re not gonna believe this

      Yamaha often gets overlooked for instruments, I think a lot of this is that we don’t expect a company that makes jetskis and motorcycles to also know what they’re doing with guitars, saxophones, and pianos, but they actually make good quality stuff.

      It’s more accurate to think of Yamaha as a conglomerate that owns several different companies. It’s just that a lot of those smaller companies are also named Yamaha

      Fun fact, the Yamaha logo is an image of three tuning forks, laid atop each other.

        They often get overlooked because, in my experience (guitars and violins) they tend to sound like hot garbage. Good for entry level but not much else.
