Yamaha Specialist

Nibei: My first encounter with YAMAHA guitars was seeing John Frusciante holding an SG2000 Deep Purple on the cover of Guitar Magazine.
From there, I played numerous Yamaha guitars, starting with the SG, and it was Yamaha's original models that first made me realize the appeal of Japanese vintage instruments.
Drawing on my extensive experience with Yamaha instruments and insights gained from writing columns about the SG, I'll help you choose the perfect instrument while sharing the appeal of Yamaha!

Mochizuki: When it comes to Japanese manufacturing, what immediately comes to mind is its highly reliable quality, meticulous attention to detail, and design philosophy centered on the user.
I feel every day when I play the guitar that YAMAHA is perhaps its very symbol.
Vintage Yamaha guitars from years past possess a distinctive sound that grows more powerful with time, while models crafted in recent years offer modern playability and refined ease of use.
Whichever one I touch, I can't help but fall in love all over again, thinking, "Yamaha really is amazing."

Mizumoto: Yamaha wind instruments offer a sense of reliability you just don't find with other brands. Having seen over 5,000 units over the years, their consistency in precision across all eras is impressive. That's the appeal—it makes you think, "Yamaha really is trustworthy."We often hear from members of the Showa generation that memories of old Yamahas in their club rooms make them instinctively choose overseas brands. However, around the year 2000, their reputation significantly improved, and now more people specifically request Yamahas. Older models are also being reevaluated, driving up resale values. If you're thinking, "Maybe it's time to part with mine?", please feel free to consult with us. We'll carefully examine it for you.
