Yamaha doesn't produce gold every time, they've had plenty of failures as well as successes.

Also they bought a lot of companies up, which is how they got so big. Take for instance the piano industry in the UK. At one stage there was 100 factories making them. I think the last one shut down within the last 10 years, Yamaha, Casio and Moog bought a lot of music companies world wide, those they didn't they put out of business since they couldn't compete. Time itself shut down many, many companies even without those 3, a lot of businesses that once made instruments are gone. :-/
