Tuning fork logo
Yamaha is a Japanese corporation known primarily for motorcycles and musical instruments—an unusual combination that began with pianos and organs before expanding to motorized vehicles.
The name appears on everything from concert grand pianos to outboard motors to synthesizers: She learned on a Yamaha upright, He rides a Yamaha.
In casual speech, a Yamaha usually means either a motorcycle or a keyboard instrument, depending on context.
