The Japanese adopted the piano with enthusiasm when it was introduced to Japan, with China and Korea soon to follow. Since WW II, the majority of piano manufacture has shifted to Asia. Yamaha, one of the oldest Asian manufacturers (opened 1900), helped to pioneer the application of digital technology to the piano during the 1980s. The style of this piano is typical of contemporary Yamaha uprights, but the "Disklavier" reproducing equipment uses a 3.5" diskette to record whatever the pianist plays and to play it back instantly, or at a later time.
