Nikkan


Japan

-




Two versions of history:

Forerunner to Yamaha. In 1963, when the Japanese company Nikkan established a wind instrument factory in Saitama, Japan. In 1965 the first wind instrument began to bear the Yamaha name. Nikkan and Yamaha merged in 1970.

President of the Yanagisawa Wind Instrument Company, Takanobu Yanagisawa succeeded his Father, Tokutaro Yanagisawa, who established the Egawa Rappa factory around 1921. This factory manufactured brass instruments such as Signal Trumpets. It was only later when Tokutaro Yanagisawa left the factory that the factory became known as Nikkan factory.
