Frequencyilodulation
t,
For almost a century Yamaha has been
in the puisuit of the highest
f.trg"g.d
possible sound quality in musical instruments. This has ied Yimaha to a firm belief
in the inestimable value of conducting its
own research and development as well as
fabricating each integral part of every
instrument it manufactures. The result of
Yamaha's unique "do-it-yourself" philosophy is that it can set a blistering pace in
developing and, more importantly, applying new technologies for sound generation.
