    At the time of World War I, demand for Yamaha piano stores grew even higher as many buyers could not access the Asian market, while Yamaha still employed more than 1,000 companies. multiply, producing 1,200 pianos per year. By 1922-1923, fires and earthquakes had destroyed most of Yamaha's production facilities, but by 1927, new president Kaichi Kawakami had reshaped the company, paying off most of its debts and a make it a profitable company again.


    The War II
    Almost all of the company's factories were destroyed by bombing during the Second World War, and that brought a huge setback for the company.

In 1950, Kaichi's son took the presidency, and he held that office for the next 27 years. During his tenure, schools were opened so that students could be taught piano, pianos were marketed abroad, and new production facilities were established. Another major achievement during this time was a new wood drying process that reduced production time from two years to three months.


    Yamaha's rise
    Between 1960 and 1966, the company's piano production grew from 24,000 to 100,000, and Yamaha pianos became the largest piano manufacturer anywhere in the globe.

This allows the player to hear the sound they are making through the headset, while the rest of the room hears only the silence. Today, Yamaha Corporation is known as the world's largest musical instrument manufacturer, besides Japan, it also has production facilities in many countries around the globe.

The entire piano is manufactured in-house including the strings that are measured to the nearest nano millimeter so that the vibrations during play resonate to create the final tone. Metal components such as the legs of the Concert and Omega Plus pianos are made of pure titanium.


    Perhaps the most interesting pianos Sauter makes were designed by Peter Maly and are truly works of modern art. Infused with a modernist aesthetic, these gorgeous children's grand pianos and digital pianos are captivating, fresh, and beautiful. The 'butterfly' cap on the Sauter stand is a stunning visual effect but also a great sonic strategy that fills the space with stereo sound.
