Artists
It is not difficult to explain the popularity of Yamaha’s instruments: they quite simply meet, and in many cases exceed, the wishes and requirements of the professional musician. This popularity has been fostered through a surprisingly strong network of locations and staff dedicated to artists. Not only are there specially built and dedicated Artist Services Centres in all over the world, but in many additional towns and cities there are also Yamaha companies that are able and willing to support the performers’ needs.
Our Yamaha Artist Services Centres provide facilities in many of the world’s principal musical cities to offer touring pianists a home away from home. Here they will find high-quality instruments, technicians, practice rooms and a friendly welcome. Whether the occasion is a concert, a competition, a press conference or a jury meeting – contacts are made, friendships are renewed and experiences are exchanged at our Artist Services Centres.
But that is not all: these locations have been integral in the ongoing development and improvement of Yamaha pianos, as it is in these locations that many new designs and features have been discovered, tested and evaluated by the world’s greatest pianists.
Yamaha is fully committed to concerts, artists and academic relations. There is a strong desire and keen interest to build a strong rapport in this circle where like minds and similar goals come together.

“The Yamaha has such a smooth and precise action - a complete joy to play both in concert and at home. I love how even the smaller Yamahas have a concert-quality range of colour and sound. I'm always excited to try a new Yamaha as they are constantly evolving - allowing me to explore completely new ideas.”
"The CFIIIS is undoubtedly the most wonderful piano I have ever played. It makes everything seem possible for the performer and responds with infinite subtlety to all the innermost dreams of the artist. It has everything from a wonderful clarity to a great depth of tone with power and beauty throughout the whole range of the instrument. It is the only concert piano where perfection comes as standard. I simply love it!"
"In the course of my career I have gained the kind of trust in the Yamaha concert grand which is necessary for the artist. It has always been my best friend in the many-shared moments when music becomes silent contemplation and pure reflection for both the musician and the audience – when time stands still. Magical moments of which every artist dreams. After playing so many concerts with the Yamaha CFIII I finally decided with my heart and soul for the wonderful S model, which I play every day."
