Toyo Piano, General Japanese Piano Manufacturer

Toyo Piano was founded in 1948 as a small piano manufacturer in Hamamatsu, Japan, one of the world’s leading piano-producing regions and one of the highest quality piano-producing regions in the world. As a result of our continuous pursuit of unique values that differ from those of major manufacturers, such as our original SSS mechanism, Toyo Piano has been recognized by many people and has grown to become the third largest piano manufacturer in Japan.

Today, we not only manufacture pianos, but also sell new pianos wholesale, export used pianos of various brands, and repair pianos overseas, as well as provide various services as a comprehensive piano company, including international piano competitions. We are pleased to serve buyers, retailers, and customers around the world who are in need of pianos.

Our mission is to enrich the lives of as many customers as possible through our various piano related activities. That is our mission.
