Yamaha is the Toyota of instruments? Most, and if not all most definitely the best ones, of the engines made by Toyota, have been designed by Yamaha. I would not say that Yamaha needs Bösendorfer to improve their pianos. But, the acquisition gave access to Bösendorfer's specific production techniques as well as their knowledge of which woods to buy where. In the same way, Yamaha did not need to buy Selmer Paris for them to design and produce great saxophones. The reason the grand pianos in the famous concert halls of the world have all been (Hamburg) Steinways, or at least these halls had a Steinway D available, is because the artist agency that had all the important pianists under contract was owned by Steinway and the pianists had a contractual obligation to in public play Steinway only. You'll see that in recent years, at the Polish annual best Chopin pianist "games" there now is a choice and 50% may go Steinway, while the others chose Fagioli or Kawai. The famous Austrian piano brand is called Bösendorfer and in that registered trade name the ö is short notation for "oe", so if you don't know how to get the ö in typing, then you can replace it by "oe" - in the German language, in correct computer implementations, the ö and oe are sort-ordered as equals. The same applies to ä/ae and ü/ue.

Here are some historical stories about the famous Yamaha in Japan! History of Yamaha First, Yamaha repaired imported pianos and then made musical instruments. The company started out repairing imported pianos, and then started making musical instruments, and then started making electronic musical instruments, and then started making DSP. Then, in order to use DSP for other purposes, Yamaha started to make routers. In this way, Yamaha began to make musical instruments, electronic devices, and network-related products. Then, why do I make motors, furniture, and so on? Piano repairing gave him expertise in woodworking, which he used to make furniture, which he then used to make housing equipment. During the war, the military said, "You make furniture, so you can make wooden propellers," so they made propellers for fighter planes, which led to the production of engines. We made engines, so we will make motorcycles. Since we make engines, we also make boats, and FRP is used to make the hulls. Using FRP, make a waterslide, and then a swimming pool. The water in the pool became muddy, so we made a water purifier. Water purifier was a failure, and algae grew profusely → Started algae cultivation → Bio-enterprise As a result of Yamaha's continuous efforts to turn every possible success and failure into a new business, the word "Yamaha" conjures up images of all kinds of products, and this has led to a phenomenon where people have lost track of what kind of company Yamaha is.

The 1LR-GUE V10 in the LFA was not solely built by Yamaha. It was a collaboration with Toyota. The creation of the V10 was lead by Lexus' chief engine designer Okamoto Takamitsu. The engine starts life at Toyota's Myochi plant. It is at this plant that the engine block is made from molted aluminium. The block is then sent to Toyota's Honsha factory. The same factory that used to be Toyota's F1 engine facility. The block will get milled, drilled and polished and emerges as a precise engine block. In a sealed room Takumi’s hone every sharp edge using precision polishing tools. After this a highly skilled Takumi pre-assembles the finished engine blocks to check if they fit precisely. Disassembled they travel as unit to Yamaha’s Iwata city plant. It is at this plant that 4 highly skilled Yamaha Takumi’s fully assemble V10. A process that takes 2,5 days for one engine. Before the engine gets put into an LFA, it undergoes a half day of exhaustive testing. Everything mentioned here was documented on episode of "Mega Factory" by NA- GEO. You can find it here.

My brother owns the prototype 2nd gen Ford Tarus SHO. It has the original red Yamaha badging instead of the production Blue Ford Oval.

I wish more emphasis would have been placed on motorcycle development. Lage capacity V4 V-Max (based on Honda V4), EXUP exhaust valve system, 5 valve Genesis heads, forward leaning engines, temporary ownersip of Ohlins, crossplane inline 4 to mimic V4, etc.

Wow, Yamaha really does a great job. I never knew that it had a hand in so many cars. But hey, who else thinks that the concept car toyota made which came to be the Mk V supra , should've actually been the new LFA? Like the Mk 5 supra and LFA have lil similarities which could've worked as an LFA... Or is it just me?

Now that internal combustion is going extinct, the LFA might go down as the best internal combustion vehicle ever made.

Talking about how good the LFA and then not including a sound clip/video was criminal 😤😤

I'd love to see yamaha develop their own hot hatch, or at least the engine for one. Who wouldn't want a NA inline 4 that revved past 10k rpm in a (relatively) cheap car that you can haul a lot of stuff in because it's a hatchback?

Always had a soft spot for Yamaha, and I always cheer when they get a victory over their chief rival Honda.

Let's not forget the best sounding inline 4 motorcycle engine is from Yamaha. Multiple MotoGP championship Yamaha M1. The Crossplane engine made its way down to their street bike R1. That engine sounds so good. Growls like a v8 and screams like a V10🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️❤️

Yamaha was the driving force behind the family business when I was a kid. It's motorcycle and snowmobile racing championships that kept them on the leading edge of development. Far more competitive world than automobiles. Yams are sweet potatoes bro. Having listened to a million Yamaha execs in meetings I can say for sure it's Yah ma hah. Like Yah Ma Gu chi. They pronounce syllables differently.
