The finest woods

The soundboards and ribs in Yamaha's Gallery Collection pianos are crafted from solid spruce that has been hand selected at the Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan, giving these pianos a richer, more resonant voice and evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.

Back posts, forward thinking

Years of cutting-edge research, including a proprietary wood-drying process, result in back posts that maintain their shape, strength and resonance for years to come.

Advanced V-Pro frame

Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced Vacuum Shield Mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame. Every Gallery Collection piano features a full-perimeter frame built to exacting specifications at the Iwata Forge in Japan.

Handcrafted finish

Yamaha has spent over a century refining the piano maker’s art. You can see and feel the attention to detail in the finish on every Gallery Collection piano.

Specially designed hammers

Gallery Collection hammers are crafted of the finest materials and painstakingly designed for each model to provide optimum tone, response and a lifetime of musical enjoyment.

Specially crafted bass strings

Yamaha artisans oversee the winding of pure copper and adjust the balance and tension of each bass string to the exacting standards and sound profile of every Gallery Collection piano.

The world’s first aluminum action rail

Often copied but never equaled, the patented Yamaha aluminum action rail helps assure piano keyboards are resistant to tiny fluctuations in humidity and temperature over time.
