Get to Know Us

This is a music company, so there are very few ties and sport coats around our office. We're more of a relaxed crowd in general, although we take a lot of pride in our products and work hard to maintain our leadership in the music industry. So we have balance and perspective. And we have fun.

For instance, every year Yamaha hosts a big-budget concert for employees that features GRAMMY® - winning artists. We also enjoy Halloween costume competitions, holiday sing-alongs, group participation in local charity events, and much more. Also, many Yamaha employees are passionate and talented musicians in their own right so it's not uncommon to go watch them play at local bars on a Saturday night.

125 Years of Music History...The Legacy Continues with you.
