On the back cover it states Yamaha created its first piano in 1900 and celebrated the company's 50th anniversary in 1937. Can someone let me know how this can be? Regards, Clyde Hollinger, RPT >> Yamaha is a big company, many smaller divisions, that produces many different items. My guess, they built other items first. Mrs Blitz, down the street, has an old Yamaha rake, one of the first built, supposedly from the 19th century.
