All stages, from parts production to final assembly, are carried out in-house under strict quality control. For example, to ensure each piano can be enjoyed for years to come, careful attention is given from the earliest stages to the drying of the wood used throughout the instrument. Backed by over 100 years of piano-making expertise and a scientific approach, Yamaha employs strict wood-drying standards to help minimize the effects of wood aging while enhancing resonance. In addition, all action components are machined with high precision and carefully assembled by skilled technicians, ensuring a smooth and consistent feel that players can enjoy for a long time.
