Yamaha started making pianos when the company was founded in 1887. The motorcycles didn’t come along until after WWII as Japan started to build its reputation as an industrial manufacturer. Today this multi-faceted company not only makes musical instruments and motorcycles, but also bicycles, sporting goods, and robots. Yamaha’s origins are still reflected in their logo—a trio of interlocking tuning forks.
