Disaster Relief and Aid

  In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck the nation on March 11, 2011, we wish to convey our sincerest condolences to those persons who lost their lives and to their families. We would also like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the people living in devastated areas who continue to suffer from the aftereffects of the disaster. The Yamaha Group is doing everything in its power to bring smiles to the faces of those sufferers in affected areas as quickly as possible. In addition to donations by Group companies both in and outside Japan, the Group is promoting the inspection and repair of musical instruments through its network of dealers. The Group has also provided “Projectphone” web conference microphone speaker systems for use as communications infrastructure and is endeavoring to reopen music schools while conducting charity concerts across devastated areas together with other support activities.

  Led by the Japan Musical Instruments Association, the School Music Revival Fund was established in July with the Company's president Mitsuru Umemura serving as chief promoter. Under the Fund, steps are being taken to inspect and repair the musical instruments of kindergartens, elementary, junior and senior high schools located in hard-hit areas.
