Yamaha is well known for making quality products in Japan. Everything they make is good. Did you know it all started with pianos, back in the 1880s? If you look at the Yamaha logo on a boat motor, motorcycle or a band instrument you will notice three tuning forks arranged in a pattern. Tuning forks are used to establish the first note in piano tuning.
Yamaha now is the most popular brand of piano, as a result of their very successful marketing campaign. Yamaha placed their pianos in front of the world’s most popular musicians. Their multi decade, marketing campaign has yielded much fruit. Now, the US population overwhelmingly chooses Yamaha over any other piano brand.
With their gain in popularity over the years, Yamaha has increased their prices, cashing in on their wildly successful marketing strategy, to what is presently considered by most to be an astronomical level.
There is however, a silver lining. Because new Yamaha pianos are so incredibly expensive, much like a luxury automobile; they depreciate significantly when they enter the secondary market.
Case in point, take this 5’3” white baby grand piano made in Japan. New, a Japanese made 5’3” polished white baby grand piano cost nearly $30,000! This piano is now selling for just $8,500!
