MARK

III

SERIES

Yamaha pianos offer an unparalleled playing and listening experience

possible only from a company that combines the precision of leading-edge

technology with the genuine care of skilled craftspeople.

All Yamaha pianos are produced with the same cutting-edge machine and

handcrafting technology at state-of-the-art, ISO-certified factories. Tuning,

regulation, voicing, and inspection are performed by expert technicians who

ensure that the tone, touch, and overall quality of these instruments meet

Yamaha’s strict standards.

In its “total approach” to piano-making, Yamaha retains complete control

over every stage of production; we even build much of the production

equipment ourselves. Rather than outsourcing parts production, Yamaha

designs, tests, evaluates, and manufactures all major parts in-house. This

allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality management and ensures

that the piano you select is worthy of the Yamaha name.

Another key element of the Yamaha advantage is our expertise in related

technologies. With well-established Yamaha credentials in fields such as

metallurgy, chemistry, and electronics—in addition to more obvious areas like

acoustics and woodworking—we can leverage extensive resources within the

company to raise the standards of piano-making and create ever-better

instruments that boast a steady stream of innovations.

The result is a piano that you can be sure was made to Yamaha’s exacting,

high standards.
