Advantages: Lightweight, powerful 200cc two-stroke motor, proven over time Disadvantages: Wheel base and width cause instability in some situations.
The Yamaha Blaster is a legend in its own right. It has been in production for many a year now and has sold in large numbers worldwide. Its success has mainly been down to the large spread of potential buyers that it caters for. Although its main target is the rookie rider, it has sufficient power to thrill most users while providing good value for money and great reliability.
I have had my Blaster now for 7 years and had very few mechanical issues with her. Of course i have had to change tyres and top up fuel and oil levels when needed. I do as a matter of good maintenance, keep the chain and other moving parts oiled and greased, but this level of maintenance is expected on all such machines. I have recently rebuilt the top-end of my blaster engine and was very pleased to see that the condition of most of the internal waer parts was ...

The most affordable all-birch Yamaha drumset ever! An incredible value, the legendary tone of an all-birch Yamaha drumset is now available in the Stage Custom series. The low fundamental and warm tone of Yamaha's birch drums have been the top choice of drummers for over 30 years. The Stage Custom Birch series is great for the beginner or the working professional. The staggered diagonal seam allows us to ...
Advantages: reasonable price, reasonable sound, portable, built-in amplification & speakers, USB port Disadvantages: no music rest supplied, a few dodgy-sounding notes around D4
Other than from an economic angle, I was never a fan of Yamaha acoustic pianos. So back in the 1980s it came as no surprise when their digital instruments failed to impress me. In my opinion Yamaha pianos sounded too 'wooden' at the top end. They had none of the 'singing' tones common to European pianos like Blüthner, Bösendorfer or Bechstein.
However, after moving into an apartment in 1996 I was obliged to get a piano that took cans and chose a Technics PR900, which in my view was the nearest thing to an acoustic piano. It sounded like some of the best German pianos I had played.
Early incarnations of this model had a very annoying background 'static', only noticeable when the piano was silent. By 1998 this static had been fixed by Technics. But in 1996 it was driving me so crazy that I sent the PR900 back to the store and got ...

The Yamaha MSP10 Active Speaker - single. Worthy evolvement from the original NS10M Studio monitor with built-in biamplification. The Yamaha MSP10 Studio is an example of near-perfect evolution. It takes over where its predecessor left off with precision and performance that are perfectly suited to todays production needs. More than 30 years experience in the design and production of top-performance speaker systems has won Yamaha an enviable position in the recording field: respected professionals depend on Yamaha to help them achieve award-winning sound. The venerable NS10M STUDIO monitor speaker is an excellent example: from its introduction in the 80s through to its recent discontinuation (due to unavailability of the necessary pure virgin pulp for its distinctive white woofer cone), the NS10M STUDIO was the definitive near-field speaker monitor in an overwhelming majority of professional studios throughout the world. But times change, and technology must evolve. The Yamaha MSP10 STUDIO Powered Monitor is poised to become a cornerstone of the new age of audio production. The last thing an audio professional needs is flattering sound. They need the truth - precise reproduction that clearly reflects even the tiniest changes in EQ, dynamics, effects, or any of the multitude of parameters that add up to create the final sound. Thus, unlike many home-use systems that can simply be made to sound good, reference monitors have to sound right, and thats an entirely different story. Heres where inspired design, uncompromising material selection, innovative technology, micron-tolerance manufacturing, and a good dose of one elusive skill that only comes through long experience - knowing what right sound sounds like - become vitally important. The MSP10 STUDIO design team, headed by Akira Nakamura, designer of the original NS10M, has all the necessary skills, resources, and dedication. And with development assistance and feedback from industry luminaries, the Ya
