Indonesia and Yamaha Pianos

Indonesia pianos are designed and developed at Yamaha Headquarters in Japan, drawing on over 100 years of accumulated Yamaha expertise. Many of the major parts are produced here as well, including flawlessly vacuum-cast V-Pro frames, copper wound strings for superb bass tones, and lathe-cut nickel-plated tuning pins. Yamaha Japan also oversees the production of other components, and provides technical support for assembly of these pianos, at Yamaha Indonesia.

Additional parts are produced and the pianos are assembled at Yamaha's ISO 9002-certified facilities in Indonesia. Here, components from other Yamaha production bases are combined with Indonesian Made structural and cabinetry elements, and transformed into finely finished Yamaha pianos. Tuning, regulation, voicing and inspection are performed by expert technicians, skilfully trained at Yamaha Japan, to ensure that the tone, touch and overall quality of these instruments meets Yamaha's worldwide standards.

Established in 1981, Yamaha Indonesia builds pianos to the same high standards for which all Yamaha instruments are renowned. Using Yamaha training, tools and techniques, this advanced, modern production base has earned the coveted ISO9002 certification for superior quality control.
Note: Only JU, JX & U1J model pianos are imported from Indonesia to Australia. The pianos imported to Australia are specifically built for Australian Conditions.
