Kimball pianos were all manufactured in the United States with the exception being some later model console pianos that were assembled in Mexico. Known as Kimball International their office and hospitality furniture is very well known as well as operating a large contract electronics segment. At that time Kimball ceased to manufacture pianos but is still a large viable company today.
They began manufacturing pianos in 1886 and continued into 1996. At one time they were the largest keyboard instrument manufacturer. Kimball is one of the oldest and well known U.S. Yamaha uses its vast acoustic piano knowledge in producing the fine line of Clavinova digital pianos and Hybrid pianos. Vertical pianos 48” and under are built in Yamaha’s state of the art facility in Indonesia. Vertical pianos 48” and taller are manufactured in Japan. Grand pianos are manufactured in Japan sans the smallest grand piano which is manufactured in Indonesia. Long a leading choice of the finest schools and conservatories, Yamaha grands are equally prominent on stage at international piano competitions and performing arts organizations around the world. Prized not only for their tone and touch, but also for their consistency and durability, they are to be found wherever musicians are making their mark.
All factories use modern machinery, much of which was custom built by Yamaha, along with Yamaha trained staff and quality control. Yamaha owns and controls all of its factories. The world’s largest musical instrument manufacturer operates piano factories in many countries and has been building pianos for over 100 years.
