I got my first guitar when I was 3 years old and it was made in China. I’m 43 now. I am building my first own guitar right now and I appreciate the skills those workers have, especially working on that pace. Yamaha guitars are those that I would recommend everyone and I do to my students. They are just made right. Depending on the price you get what you want. Surely most of those have crappy soundboards, laminated sides and back that consist more of glue than wood but if you go up the price range you can have a really nice solid wood Yamaha too. The machining is somehow awkward, yes, but it ads to precision and consistency and even the expensive brands have adapted it. If you want a fully handmade guitar the traditional way then you will have to pay the price and live with the perfection of human imperfection. The point though is that a traditional luthier doesn’t need electricity and power tools at all to create this perfection and then for me it becomes art because then it shows how much talent someone really has. But why make yourself more work if it isn’t needed right.
I worked in a factory and lasted 3 months. Some of the most boring and thereby tiring work I’ve done. Hats off to those that do it week in and week out. Thanks for the vid. Lots of solid, humble people starring in it.
My spruce/rosewood LS6 was made at the Hangzhou factory November 11, 2009 number 163. Totally flawless. Low end sound is warm, the mids are complex and the highs are bright Thank you Yamaha and all the skilled workers at the Hangzhou facility for making such a fantastic instrument at a great price.
as much handwork, if not more than machine work. very impressed by the quality level of the workers. i wouldn't think twice about buying a chinese yamaha.
I bought a FG-110 while stationed in Kadena AFB OKINAWA IN 1974 at a local music store for 2200 yen at the time. I still have it and had it reset once. Great sounding wonderful guitar.
adoro ver estes vídeos..que empenho,que capricho! meu sonho é ter um violão Yamaha...mas...não tenho condições,mas,fico feliz que muitas pessoas sejam agraciadas com um fabuloso violão desses!
+StOOk 8 Dès que que tu as des actionnaires dans une entreprise tu tombes dans ce travers. Pour peu que tu n'ais pas un syndicat PUISSANT et des salariés impliqués syndicalement c'est cuit pour les salaries ; -( .
i grew up playing Yamaha guitars they were excellent instruments . When i could afford a Martin i bought one ...45 years later I'm now playing a chinese guitar i bought at a garage sale for $28. and it plays so good i can't put it down .
@@Chikpino только высоко качественный материал переводят, а качество инструментов хреновое, как и звучание, нет души. Жаль, столько материала на ветер.
Serial production optimized to the max. Everybody does just a fraction of the whole work. Still a prime job for chinese workers i think. That's why those guitars are still affordable.
The film crew were sloppy in their letting themselves appear in the video. Great production of the guitars. Interesting to see the difference between a hand-made guitar and a factory-made guitar; and yes there is quite a difference in the two guitar's designs.
et oui c'est de l'industriel ,,,mais pour en avoir vendu et jouer je les trouve bien faite régulière en qualité,et pour des élèves ou des particuliers qui n'ont pas beaucoup d'argent cela reste une référence a ce prix là ,les instruments a vents aussi de chez yamaha sont très bien pour commencé
Здорово организовано! Быстро и достаточно качественно , не сравнить с отечественными ящиками со струнами! Хотя если сравнивать с гитарами ручной работы скажем из испании неизвестно что лучше?
No digo que no estén bien echas, pero me niego a creer que una guitarra echa así, en serie, pueda superar a una guitarra echa a mano de principio a fin por un maestro carpintero.
Yes, nothing is perfect with Yamaha: Not an artisan traditional work, but it allowed everyone to get a very smart guitar for a cheap price ! I bought a folk LV 35 years ago ( better than many Martins) and it is still a great instrument in perfect conditions. I recently bought a classic guitar cg 192, and very well built, a good sound, not a great sound, but very sympathetic . Both of them for a few euros, nothing to regret . I also own an Alhambra guitar, which cost much, but the difference is really not very important. ... I think except for really good guitarists, Yamaha is enough to be happy and make sound everywhere. If i had been a clever instrumentalist, i would have bought a hand-made guitar from culture heritage in a real humble work shop as we can find easily in France and Spain, but it cost about 2000 to 4000 euros .
Fantástico, o que eles investem em processos de fabricação é simplesmente maravilhoso. Não tem como um Luthier (que faz artesanalmente) competir em custos com eles..
Em custos realmente n tem como. Mas em qualidade e som aí os fabricados em escala "podem" perder a vantagem... Claro... Existem as excessões. Fábrica por fábrica, eu arriscaria nos Rozini que vem fazendo um ótimo trabalho e é nacional...
I have Yamaha F310 and it is so comfortable to play. I liked it veeeeeeery much. I'll prefer you to buy it. You'll feel very comfortable when you'll play it.
Où est l'amour de l'artisan pour son travail? Est-ce qu'une seule de ces ouvrières connaît une seule note de musique? On s'en fiche, l'essentiel est que ce ne soit pas cher. Pourquoi pas, il en faut pour essayer quand on commence, mais quelle ambiance sans âme. Pour un musicien, c'est triste, non? Musicienne, j'aime à rester persuadée que le bois de nos instruments nous transmet le travail de l'artisan qui l'a fabriqué.
Beautiful to watch, very professional too. But ask myself, could any of those sweet and skilled craftswomen(men) build a whole guitar from scratch without all this machinery?
Just love watching the skill of these women! Jigs and cnc machines can turn out identical quality but no good without those dexterous hands. Maybe one day logs will get loaded at one end and guitars come out the other with no humans involved - bummer.
It won't be logs, instead wood putty of ebony, cedar, rosewood... would be fed into specialized 3D printers, and various type of guitars come out the other end.
Probably is where my Yamaha FGX 800C was made, it sounds very beautiful and after I watched this video I love it more that ever also I love my Ibanez guitar GA35TCE. I got a lot of respect for those women, they have been doing an incredible job.
Pobre gente, todos los días haciendo las mismas tareas. Yo construyo una guitarra al mes totalmente artesanal y me divierte ir haciendo todas las piezas, solo y sin ayuda más que de las pocas máquinas y herramientas manuales. Esto no es luthería. Con todos mis respetos a las personas que trabajan afanosamente y se ganan su sueldo con todo merecimiento.
@@solomonkhan7199 Hola Salomón. Lo siento pero ya estoy jubilado y aunque estoy haciendo alguna por seguir con mis investigaciones, no puedo venderlas pues requeriría factura la cual no puedo hacer, y menos exportarlas, por lo dicho de mi jubilación. Sólo estoy autorizado a vender el libro que escribí sobre luthería y una película de más de 70 horas de todo el proceso de construcción de guitarras: hagomiguitarra.blogspot.com.es/ Lo siento. Saludos cordiales.
Como le va José? Yo soy argentino, pero vivo en China.. Soy traductor de varios idiomas.. Hace varios años atrás, me dedicada a construir guitarras y bajos eléctricos en Bs as. Es lamentable la situación que viven estos chinos, literalmente los explotan. En general les pagan un sueldo de 400 dólares como mucho, cuando el costo de vida en 杭州 Hangzhou debe andar en 350 mínimo. Las Yamaha son buenas guitarras, muy buenas por su valor, (sacando a un lado el hecho de que son baratas, pero por el bajo costo de producción), pero aún así, jamás van a igualar a una guitarra de luthier.. Si bien, yo no soy Luthier ni artesano, he hecho varias guitarras eléctricas con madera de Lenga Argentina y maple, y logré que sonarán mejor que cualquier guitarra de fábrica. Mis respetos para Ud. que se dedica a esta hermosa profesión. Desde que dejé Argentina, jamás me pude volver a dedicar a la fabricación de un instrumento. Ojalá algún día me pueda dedicar a eso acá en China. El problema es que no puedo competir.. Ya ningún chino se gasta más de 1000 dólares en una guitarra, acá compran una marca que se llama Kepma y otra que es Kanon, ambas hechas en China. Salen menos de 80 dólares nuevas.. Suenan bien, no lo niego, pero en seis meses como máximo se les quiebra la trastera porque la madera es muy blanda, y no soporta la tensión de las cuerdas de acero.. Así que ahí nomás los chinos las rebolean a la basura y se compran otra igual. Total, vale 80 dólares, que acá, no es nada.. Es más, una vuelta, me encontré una acústica en la basura, la levante, la lijé, le arreglé la trastera y me la quedé 😊 nada más que la afino en 432 para evitar que se vuelva a quebrar. Mis respetos para Ud y ésta gente!
@@MegaDieter27 Todo que me cuentas confirma mi comentario y realmente es una pena. Es normal que se averíen tan pronto por la baja calidad. Te cuento que yo escribí dos libros de construcción de guitarras y tengo muchos alumnos argentinos pues como ya sabes hay mucha afición a la luthería. El primer libro es gratuito y si me escribes a escuelalutheria@gmail.com te lo puedo enviar en formato PDF. Es cierto que las Yamaha no están nada mal, pero han pasado por mis manos muchas para ajustar porque de fábrica no vienen muy bien. Saludos cordiales desde España.
Take a closer look! Then look at videos of Martin or Gibson and you'll see a big difference. American guitars are high priced fo a reason. Yamaha don't use nearly the same wood types and sound nowhere near the same as American guitar builders. Everything Yamaha know about building guitars is from ripping off American guitars and copying them!
@@vincentlussier8264 there's no secret in building a good guitar. Innovation is the term and old ways are outdated. Search and you'll be surprised how others have dominated over the american branding worldwide.
Il y a bien peu d'opérations - hormis les découpes du bois et l'implantation des barrettes - qui pourraient être automatisées. Je tire mon chapeau à toutes ces filles qui travaillent à un rythme infernal pour probablement des salaires de misère, dans une ambiance certainement très bruyante. Elles ont des masques pour éviter les poussières de bois mais cela ne protège pas leurs poumons des colles et des vernis, ni leurs oreilles du vacarme de l'usine. Et en aval, ces guitares sont vendues chez nous des fortunes, ce sont comme toujours les intermédiaires qui se gavent. C'est ça la mondialisation des échanges commerciaux. J'en appelle à la mémoire de Louise Michel et de Che Guevara.
good evening thanks for your video you can tell us your opinion about Yamaha Acoustic Guitar CG 110 I try to find information on the internet and I do not find thanks
O vídeo destaca duas coisas na produção industrial de violões. Primeiro, naturalmente, a divisão do trabalho, que, por si só, traz um aumento da produtividade. Segundo, a utilização de máquinas para as várias tarefas, o que na construção artesanal é feito com ferramentas. Por último, esses operários ganham salário e não a remuneração de um luthier...
Esperamos com toda sinceridade que esses trabalhadores ganhem um salário no mínimo digno, pois é um trabalho perfeito e o preço final desses violões são relativamente altos.
these people are so efficient. every movement has a purpose. they're not taking phone calls and texting. all business for a few dollars a day. one million waiting to take their place if they screw up.
you'd think that mass produced guitars are all automated, but little did i realize there are so many manual work involved, everyone there is like a mini luthier.
Je vis en Thaïlande je viens de m'acheter une guitare. Elle est vraiment très belle. Je l'ai payée 6000 bahts, c'est-à-dire 150 €... c'est-à-dire presque rien quand je vois le travail que cela demande ! Je me demande si ce que j'ai acheté n'est pas simplement le prix du bois car quand je vois ces travailleuses prendre autant soin de la fabrication d'une guitare je me demande comment on arrive, y compris le bénéfice du vendeur, à la somme de 150 € au final ! Et en plus il m'a offert la housse..
That is ALL so called soul ever was when it came to building it, and still is when it comes to any instrument. The whole thing about even the old pre war Martin's, was how EXACTLY they worked at making one a perfect clone of the ones before it. Sure they ALL pretty much sound different, but the playability of the same Model is almost identical. Only wood variations no builder has control over. (The same wood from the same tree will more often than not sound different from each other.) And THAT wood variation is what I believe to be the "soul" your thinking of. Or not..that's up to you. For me however, the Sound is what Makes the guitar. But..that's just MHO. Peace!
After watching this video I'm 100% sure I'll never buy a Yamaha guitar. The bridge is BOLTED to the harmonic lid! The assembly process of the arm doesn't look very solid by assembling it after the body of the guitar has been constructed and it's not integrated on this process. At the end of the assembly process there is not a guitar constructor checking the sound and performance of the guitar, verifying that there is not interference between frets and strings and so on. But the most important part: there is no soul in these guitars.
I full agree with you !! Where is the final control, to check the validity of the sound, the appearance of the guitar ? and the packaging : it's awful !!!
You are a wonderful human being thank you thank you! I searched dozens and dozens of recordings with or related to Siberil and never found it and I just love this piece of music. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!
Everything looked great but the last step, they put the guitar in the box without any foam around the sides and top & bottom for shipping protection, That is how they get damaged during shipping, Most companies pack it in foam.
Yamaha need to do a basic setup at the factory. The action on mine was way to high tons if fret buzz I needed to get a pro setup just to play it. The quality of the workers was perfect I love my guitar however Yamaha needs to to get additional eorkerbto set up the intonation action bridge nut neck angle so these are 0layabke 9ut 9f the box like the Japanese made ones.

Great video and music, also loved how clean the entire factory was and totally better then the dump I work in, thanks for sharing.
I don't know why, but the music reminds me of the annoying balalaika in Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch.

What makes even better when you know the guitars still sound good despite of that
Unless you work there, how could you possibly know that?

I loved Yamaha Guitar...the best guitar product in the world. 👍👍👍
No digo que no estén bien echas, pero me niego a creer que una guitarra echa así, en serie, pueda superar a una guitarra echa a mano de principio a fin por un maestro carpintero.
Si yo creo lo mismo
Nunca llegara a igualar a un maestro que ya sabe por su experiencia si la madera esta en condiciones o el pegamento quedo bien etc etc etc
El sonido y vida que tiene una guitarra hecha a mano no tiene comparación
Son guitarras frías . Sin sentimiento así las veo yo a las fabricadas en serie
No es la guitarra, es el guitarrista.

Je vis en Thaïlande je viens de m'acheter une guitare. Elle est vraiment très belle. Je l'ai payée 6000 bahts, c'est-à-dire 150 €... c'est-à-dire presque rien quand je vois le travail que cela demande ! Je me demande si ce que j'ai acheté n'est pas simplement le prix du bois car quand je vois ces travailleuses prendre autant soin de la fabrication d'une guitare je me demande comment on arrive, y compris le bénéfice du vendeur, à la somme de 150 € au final ! Et en plus il m'a offert la housse..
Its good to see that there are 90% ladies employed..
Why?
well done, that´s why Yamaha is worth value
They are highly skilled 👍
In one task
1000 guitars par jour? C'est incroyable! Mais à qui ils vendent beaucoup des guitars?
Es una marca muy aceptada. Ademas no suenan mal. Depende de nous si acheter.
MAGNIFIQUE VIDEO, ET MA PROCHAINE GUITARRE SERAIT UNE MADE IN CHINA....!!! BONNE ET BON MARCHÉ
Nhìn là mê ngay ...It"s Awesome
who needs a soul when you have mechanical precision
That is ALL so called soul ever was when it came to building it, and still is when it comes to any instrument.
The whole thing about even the old pre war Martin's, was how EXACTLY they worked at making one a perfect clone of the ones before it.
Sure they ALL pretty much sound different, but the playability of the same Model is almost identical.
Only wood variations no builder has control over. (The same wood from the same tree will more often than not sound different from each other.)
And THAT wood variation is what I believe to be the "soul" your thinking of. Or not..that's up to you. For me however, the Sound is what Makes the guitar.
But..that's just MHO.
Peace!
Спасибо китайским девушкам за мою прекрасную Ямаха LL16 d.r.e. Ее звук вполне конкурирует с моим же Мартином.
After watching this video I'm 100% sure I'll never buy a Yamaha guitar. The bridge is BOLTED to the harmonic lid! The assembly process of the arm doesn't look very solid by assembling it after the body of the guitar has been constructed and it's not integrated on this process. At the end of the assembly process there is not a guitar constructor checking the sound and performance of the guitar, verifying that there is not interference between frets and strings and so on. But the most important part: there is no soul in these guitars.
I full agree with you !! Where is the final control, to check the validity of the sound, the appearance of the guitar ? and the packaging : it's awful !!!
Interesting, but now i know why the price are so low on these type guitars.
Please what is the name and artist on the first song? (It's not "The Juf of Punch - Master Crowley" as stated) Thank you!

You are a wonderful human being thank you thank you! I searched dozens and dozens of recordings with or related to Siberil and never found it and I just love this piece of music. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!
I LOVE YAMAHA. MY FAVORITE KEYBOARD PSR - EW 410 HY FROM SINALOA MÉXICO
la mejor creación, las mujeres y las guitarras...
Jajajja muy buena esa frase!
Great video! Thanks!
Incredible video. Like . Thanks
女性が中心で製作されていたとは驚いた、、器用さ、細やかさが必要、また持続性が高いだからだと思う。歴史あるヤマハだからこそ一定の品質の保持が必要だということだろう。
特にネックの仕込みは心臓部で組み上げとは言え、かなりの経験値がないと手際よく出来ない、日本の指導者は大変だったと思う。個体差がどうしても出てくるがヤマハの機械や治具はよく考えられている。
Everything looked great but the last step, they put the guitar in the box without any foam around the sides and top & bottom for shipping protection, That is how they get damaged during shipping, Most companies pack it in foam.
foam is poisonous.
Now I understand why Yamaha is the best.
why?why do you think yamaha is the best?
Donald Stordock best for money.
Guitars built by Slaves in Communist China
sarcasm?
Very talented and inspiring
The normalized pipeline operation is quite good
I love my guitar " YAMAHA FG 800"
I love my FG700MS too.
l love myFG830
Yamaha need to do a basic setup at the factory.
The action on mine was way to high tons if fret buzz I needed to get a pro setup just to play it.
The quality of the workers was perfect I love my guitar however Yamaha needs to to get additional eorkerbto set up the intonation action bridge nut neck angle so these are 0layabke 9ut 9f the box like the Japanese made ones.
It looks like these chinos are making them very cheap. Better consider a Martin Co. Guitars o Takamine.
Сколько же брака при таком потоке?
