Yamaha made their first musical instrument - a reed organ - in 1887. They made their first upright piano in 1900. (I have a Yammy upright and everybody thinks I must mean an electronic keyboard!).

I also have a Yamaha guitar - I just looked in the catalogue because I'm sure I read that they made their first guitar in 1961, but I couldn't find confirmation. They have most of their guitars made in Taiwan now, only the two or three very top models are still made in Japan.
