Along with the afore mentioned electronics and small, open motor vehicles they also make a wide variety of musical instruments.
Yamaha makes some very well made Brass, Woodwind, Stringed and percussion equipment. Thou they are not the best money can buy, if you want a good musical instrument that will last you years don’t pass buy them.
The first musical instrument I ever bought was a Yamaha YSL Trombone, 9 years ago. That horn went though 3 years of middle school, 4 years of marching band in high school and is in its second year of college football-band usage. I use a Bach for class now but I will have that Yamaha until the day I die.
The I.J.N. Yamato was the worlds largest, heaviest, fastest battleship in the world, armed with 9 18" deck cannons, it weighed 75,000 tons, and had a top speed of 28knts. But it was sunk using airpower, and was the last battleship to see action.
The Yamato had suprem fire-power, but it was no match against American airpower.
A watercraft dealership located at the beautiful Lake of The Ozarks. Easily recognized by its catchy, yet equally annoying radio jingles, Surdyke Yamaha is THE leader in add-on dealer fee’s... tacked on to an already unattractive price tag. The dealership employs cutting edge profit retaining strategies, mainly focusing on cutting the sales-staffs commissions on payday. Once widely recognized as a premier off-road/MX motorcycle dealer, the dealership drastically switched over to watercraft in its more recent years...after finding is is much easier to hose the customer and salesman, when both parties are already in the water.
Obviously a Macross fan with multiple copies of the same VF design made subpar by Yamato toys. A Yamatool is also someone who got yamatoed but is too yamatotionalized to understand their condition.
Yamatools defend and at times, flame toy collectors on messageboards who point out obvious flaws of all the Yamato toys, oblivious to the fact that they also own the same stuff and that theirs are also broken.
Yamatools' goal is also to someday do enough service to get on Yamato Toys good books and be allowed table scraps of "insider" info that is already long published by magazines like Hobby Japan or Dengeki Hobby.
Yamatool: Hey man, how's it going with your new Yamato 1/60 YF19 with the foldboosters?
Macross Fan: It transforms floppily, it still has no locking chestplate, the nose is still tight as hell and the foldildos doesn't come with batteries included. For USD200 they should at least include the batteries. Other than that, it sweet!
Yamatool: You gotta find yerself a new hobby man...
