Yamaha Piano Manufacturing Locations
By Bill Brandom, forwarded by Meta Brown

I asked Yamaha where their parts were made.

> Could you please tell me where your acoustic pianos and Disklavier
> player systems are made?

All of our grand pianos and uprights taller than 45" are manufactured
in Hamamatsu, Japan. Vertical pianos 45" or less are manufactured in
Thomaston, Georgia. This is true of both acoustic and our Disklavier
pianos.

> Are the components also manufactured in Japan and the US?

All of the pianos made in Japan are made with Japanese parts. Pianos
made in Thomaston, Georgia, are a combination of Japanese and American
parts. Japanese parts used: all Disklavier electronic components,
hammers, action, tuning pins, pedal trapwork, plates and pressure bars.
All other components are American made.

I hope this information helps.
