Instruments and Equipment by Yamaha Corporation

Initially incorporated as Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd in 1887 to make reed organs. And latter renamed the Yamaha Corporation after its founder Torakusu Yamaha in 1987.

The company logo is designed to reflect the musical heritage and longevity of the company. If you hadn't realised the logo is actually three tuning forks opposed at 120 degrees to each other and then interlocked.

The company boosts (and probably quite rightly) to be the largest music company in the world. The company has a wide depth and breath in its product range covering both traditional and electronic instruments.

Personally, this company provided me with many of my first instruments being the DSR 2000 (my first Synth), FB-01 (my first 4 operator FM Synth) and Clavinova (My first electronic piano).

Yamaha SY85

Launched in 1992 many thought that this synthesiser initially was a modification of the previously released SY77 or SY99. But it was actually a different beast.
