"I've been fortunate enough to use a good range of Yamaha keyboards and I always find them perfectly suited to the job. My current choice is the XS7 - its incredible collection of quality sounds and clever sampling technology makes it the ideal choice for any gig!"

"Her approach unites lyrical beauty with unsentimental abstraction in a fascinating way." Ford Gustavson

Being the son of the famous opera singer Nuri Candas, he was involved with classical music since he was a child.

"1000's of gigs...one brand...that's versatile. I've been with Yamaha for over 15 years and I still haven't heard any drums I'd rather play. You know its good when sound guys get excited!"

"I have been playing Yamaha Drums for over 15 years, and they consistently sound great recorded and in live situations. Sound, feel, and quality are what I look for in a kit and Yamaha delivers 100%. There is a reason Yamaha are one of the most recorded drums in popular music history."

"I love playing the Oak Custom, it's very responsive and dynamic which is perfect for the sounds we like to create in The Red Paintings."

“The best piano sound and an easy-to-use interface are great assets playing live and in the studio”

"Yamaha drums are the sound I hear in my head before I play. I have played Yamaha Drums all throughout Australia, Europe, US and the UK, and I am constantly bowled over by the sound. They make me want to play. Also, I couldn't work without the sampling capabilities of DTX Electronics - the ease at which they work, and the sound reproduction capabilities are second to none, which is an absolute necessity for the artists I work with. I have worked with some of the best sound engineers in the world, and they always ask how I get such a full sound from electronics. Yamaha is the answer."

“The thing that matters most to me as a working musician is reliability. I have owned Yamaha gear since I purchased my first keyboard back in the mid 80s (a DX9) and I honestly say that they have never let me down! Everyone talks about how great the acoustic and electric piano sounds are in the Motif, but I really love the big fat synth sounds that it can produce! Just an awesome keyboard."

“Yamaha drums are consistently easy to play, easy to tune and versatile. Most importantly, they sound incredible!”
