This year, the company’s Customer Experience Group (CEG) raises the stakes with the Yamaha Hub iOS app, available in the App Store for free. The innovative app – singled out by Apple as a “New and Noteworthy” addition to the App Store at its debut – aggregates data about Yamaha products, promotions, content and events at the NAMM show in Anaheim for users of Apple products and features practical functionality that will be useful and informative long after the show is over. “Mobile media devices are clearly the wave of the future,” said Jeff Hawley, Director of the Yamaha Customer Experience Group. “Yamaha is committed to leveraging a strong mobile presence not just at trade shows, but also in our customers’ purses and pockets, as these devices become more sophisticated and ubiquitous.” Based on the template provided by the Yamaha Hub, the multi-media web portal that serves as “the Hub of all things Yamaha,” the new app is segmented by instrument groups and contains all Hub content, complete with an expanded area for video details and links to more information and product pages. Select YouTube and Vimeo content is also incorporated, along with all Yamaha Twitter, Facebook and news feeds. With all content searchable by keyword, the new app also contains a QR code reader. QR codes (short for Quick Response) are square barcodes readable by smartphones and other devices that offer fast links to text or Web content. In addition, the new app supports live HubTV feeds of events and performances at the Yamaha booth in the Anaheim Marriott, Marquis Ballroom. Users of the Yamaha Hub app will be able to share content via email and social media. Yamaha events and clinics posted at EventBrite will be accessible by the app, as will a geo-driven feature that helps users find their closest Yamaha dealer. Additional enhancements will be launched in 2011, when CEG will roll out the Yamaha Hub iOS app in an Android version and, to keep up with improvements on the Web and enhance accessibility, rebuild the browser-based Hub with HTML5, allowing for universal access to Yamaha content and a more app-like experience. Yamaha will also undertake the first High Definition broadcast from the NAMM show floor, powered by the NewTek TriCaster.

YAMAHA’S ALL ACCESS MAGAZINE CELEBRATES 10 YEARS, REVISITS ARTISTS —Anniversary Issue Answers “Where Are They Now?” — NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Ten years have passed since the first All Access magazine rolled off the press, and not only has the magazine undergone some major changes since 2000, but the many of the artists have as well. Yamaha proudly celebrates a decade of publishing All Access magazine: the backstage guide to the world of Yamaha by revisiting artists from past issues. Over the years, some of the biggest stars in the music business have graced the pages of All Access, from Ray Charles and Elton John to Jeff Lynne and Alicia Keys. But All Access also made an effort to feature up-and-coming artists with great potential, and many of these artists have turned into superstars. This issue will revisit 20 artists – both the idols and the former newcomers - and provide updates on where they are now, what they have accomplished since their All Access feature, and even more importantly, what is to come. “The last 10 years of producing All Access has been such an overwhelmingly positive experience, both for us and for the artists,” comments Chris Gero of Yamaha Artist Services – Nashville. “We hope you’ll enjoy taking a look back at where we’ve been and reading about what’s to come for some of these amazingly talented musicians. And we look forward to creating 10 more years of amazing experiences with our artists!” In efforts to advance with the times, Yamaha All Access has seen two technological adaptations within the past two years. Last June, Yamaha Artist Services – Nashville launched a brand new online version of the magazine at www.YamahaAllAccess.com. The newly revamped site includes archives of all of the previous features, dating back to the first issue, which featured country female trio SHeDAISY on the cover. In 2009, Yamaha began taking viewers even further behind the scenes with the launch of All Access 360, a collection of fully produced videos offering inside views during the photo shoots and exclusive interviews with the artists. Pick up the special 10 Year Anniversary edition (Winter 2011 issue) at local musical instrument vendors such as Guitar Center and Best Buy. Or Visit www.YamahaAllAccess.com to see the entire spectrum of articles and photography from the past 10 years. NEW SOUNDS: YAMAHA PRESENTS JUNIOR ORIGINAL CONCERT SERIES —Two Talented Young Composers from Southern California Will Perform Original Compositions at Winter NAMM Crowd Favorite — ANAHEIM, Calif.—The Yamaha Music Education System will host its popular Junior Original Concert (JOC) on Thursday, January 13th at 11:30 a.m. in the Yamaha Keyboard Division exhibit area in the Anaheim Marriott Hotel’s Marquis Ballroom. All NAMM attendees are invited to enjoy this free event, which will feature two talented Yamaha Music School students performing their own original compositions. Megan Chang, age nine, a student at Torrance Yamaha Music Center in Torrance, Calif., will perform her solo piano composition entitled “Home.” Sharon Hurvitz, age 12, who studies at Harmony Music World in Fullerton, Calif., will perform her composition “Memories,” written for the piano and violin. The Yamaha Music Education System offers six music courses for children between the ages of three and ten. Classes are held weekly, covering everything from listening skills to keyboard performance. The program began in the mid-1950s in Japan under the direction of Mr. Genichi Kawakami, President of Nippon-Gakki Company, Ltd. (today’s Yamaha Corporation). Mr. Kawakami believed his company was responsible not only for making a quality product, but also for teaching customers how to use it. Consequently, he established the non-profit Yamaha Music Foundation (YMF) in 1966 for the purpose of developing and promoting music education and music popularization activities internationally. YMF guides the worldwide development of the Yamaha Music Education System and also sponsors international events such as the Junior Original Concert (JOC). In the United States, the Music Education Division of Yamaha Corporation of America works in cooperation with Yamaha Music Foundation to design new courses, improve instructional quality, and refine existing programs.

Marquetry is the use of many pieces of different types of wood veneer to create images and has long been viewed a symbol of wealth. Many fine examples of marquetry can be found in the Imperial Palaces of Vienna, including the Schoenbrunn Palace, the summer residence of The Austrian Habsburg Imperial Family. While many historical pianos have included marquetry designs, they have seldom been re-envisioned for the 21st Century. The Austrian Habsburg Imperial Family was delighted by exotic images of nature, covering the walls of their intimate music room with wonderful jungle scenes. The Palace, outfitted with a suite of rooms featuring exotic garden panoramas commissioned by Maria Theresa and hand painted by the celebrated 18th Century Bohemian Ornamentalist painter Johan Wenzel Bergl, played host to six-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who performed for the Empress Maria Theresa at Schoenbrunn.

  • The Strategies of Piano Manufacturers: Crafts, Industry and Marketing
    The Strategies of Piano Manufacturers: Crafts, Industry and Marketing Yuko Oki, Toyo University, Japan The IAFOR International Conference on Arts & Humanities – Hawaii 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The piano was invented at the beginning of the 18th century in Europe, and thereafter was developed chiefly in Great Britain during its Industrial Revolution. New manufacturers appeared in the latter half of the 19th century to challenge the older makers such as Bösendorfer of Vienna and Érard and Pleyel of France. The advent of these new makers—Bechstein, Blüthner and Steinway & Sons—led to expanding intense competition. With Steinway's technological innovation, however, the centre of piano manufacture shifted to the United States. In fact, Steinway pianos are still loved today by professional pianists. Meanwhile, the latecomer, Yamaha, adopted a system of mass-manufacturing using automated assembly-line production. Yamaha, enabled by its marketing strategies, soon became a pioneer in the market of Japan and abroad. It went on to become the largest maker of musical instruments in the world, in terms of production quantities. Yamaha has a broad fan base, and it has been to some extent a threat to the Steinway business. Steinway was established at a favorable time, when America's piano market was already expanding. Building on the piano manufacturing technologies already established in Germany, Steinway & Sons' technical innovations perfected the piano as a musical instrument, and the company successfully protected its patent rights. Yamaha, meanwhile, was founded when the piano was already a fully developed musical instrument, and the company successfully focused on how best to mimic manufacturing methods, and efficiently standardize and mass produce its products.

    MODERN DRUMMER VOL. 8, NO. 12 Cover Photo by Layne Murdock CONTENTS FEATURES TERRY BOZZIO Although his work with such artists as Frank Zappa, the Brecker Brothers, and UK established Terry Bozzio's reputation as a fine drummer, his work with Missing Persons has revealed that there is more to Bozzio than was demonstrated in those other situations. Here, he talks about the hard work that went into starting his own band, explains his feelings that drummers should be more visible, and details his self-designed electronic drumset. by Rick Mattingly 8 OMAR HAKIM The fact that Weather Report and David Bowie have been sharing the same drummer says a lot about Omar Hakim's versatility, especially when one considers the wide range of styles that each of those situations encompasses. But Hakim's background prepared him well for the many diverse musical settings he has encountered, and he recounts that background in this amiable discussion of his life and career. by Robin Tolleson 14 INSIDE CALATO by Rick Van Horn 18 IAN PAICE The drummer for Deep Purple reminisces about the group's formation, discusses the band's reunion after an eight-year breakup, and describes Deep Purple's effect on today's music. He also talks about his experiences as the drummer for Whitesnake and Gary Moore, and explains the differences in playing with a guitar-oriented versus a vocal-oriented band. by Robyn Flans 22 TRISTAN FRY Modest Virtuoso by Simon Goodwin 26 DRIVER'S SEAT COLUMNS Phrasing With A Big Band PROFILES by Mark Hurley 112 PORTRAITS EDUCATION JAZZ DRUMMERS WORKSHOP Allen Herman New Concepts For Improved by Don Perman 30 THE MUSICAL DRUMMER Performance Chord Changes—Part 2 by Laura Metallo, Ph.D.
