With the subjects I just mentioned I only covered the surface of what Yamaha specialists can produce with their skillsets

If you purchase a Yamaha Grand Piano, Yamaha goes so far that when you've chosen it (in person!) they deliver install, secure and tune your grand piano, so your experience is similar to what their musicians and technical building experts have (had) when building and playing the Grand.

Yamaha has perfectionists who live and work by the principle of Kysen. They will tune and tweak their sublime work so it becomes even more sublime. Yamaha specialists gurus and experts do this in all fields that Yamaha is in.

Images & photographs

As you see I've included photographs of an 8 channel Yamaha portable mixing system, designed for micro live performance, with a build in two channel class D amplifier, and a set of dual driver speakers / monitors, which I use when I need balanced physical PA speaker output, that my sets of headphones cannot produce, in the studio, simply because the physics in combination with the acoustics prohibits such output.
The system is tuned to the space, thus is small.
It delivers a balanced flat sound up to 90dB of SPL in the this closed real world setting, if needed (though that is rare)
This level has been measured (and is regularly done). I do this to make sure I don't overload my ears with dB thus damaging my precious engineering organs

Yamaha in my personal and Pro live

Yamaha plays an important role in my professional PA live.

  • I have mixing consoles made by them, which blow all others just plain out of the water, when I chose those Yamaha consoles.Note 1
  • microphones
  • dynamic
  • condenser
  • speaker systems
  • full range
  • monitors (floor)
  • subwoofers

In my musical live Yamaha plays an important role too. I have instruments ranging from the humble recorder to

  • string instruments
  • brass
  • many others, too many to specify here

Note 1
Naturally I have specialized mixers from other brands which do an excellent job. Yamaha does not make those, so I have no fields of comparable parameters

“There are #instruments where you look at it and go, ‘Holy shit, what has this thing seen? … Just imagining #Garcia in his dressing room, fucking playing the thing. Instruments carry a spirit.” #guitars #GuitarSky #JerryGarcia #DerekTrucks www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit... #music #MusicSky

“We knew that if Tiger went so...
“We knew that if Tiger went somewhere else, it was most likely going to be left behind glass”: Derek Trucks plays Jerry Garcia’s ‘Tiger’ guitar on stage just hours after it sold for $12 million

The second most expensive guitar of all time is already playing out its new owner’s promise of an active second life

These Musical Instruments of the Future Sound Weird, Wacky—and Are Easy for Anyone to Play

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wired.com/story/georgia-tech-guthman-musical-instrument-competition-2026/

I've been working on a prototype for an instrument that fits an entire keyboard in a compact space.

This is tuned in 4ths like a bass guitar, if only it had 12 strings and a really wide neck.

Parmi les #instruments créés pour rendre la musique accessible, je t'ai déjà parlé de la #garmoshka.

Je découvre ici le #cécilium :
https://www.espace-musical.org/page_cecilium.php

Fabriqué en Normandie au 19e s.
« Un soufflet manœuvré par un "archet" à travers une fente en arc de cercle de la façade de l'instrument permet de faire vibrer des anches libres. […]
Le pédagogue libertaire Paul Robin utilisera le cécilium pour faciliter le développement de la sensibilité musicale des orphelins de Cempuis. »
