Yamaha Products at 2025 NAMM

It’s NAMM time again! Can’t make this year’s show in person? Here are some of the hottest products that Yamaha will be displaying on the show floor or online — all of which offer intriguing new ways to make yourself heard!

TAG3 C TransAcoustic Guitar

The newly released second-generation Yamaha TAG3 C TransAcoustic guitar integrates the entire process of playing, creating and listening to music in one instrument. Merging technology with tradition, this revolutionary guitar offers built-in reverb, chorus and delay effects that radiate organically from the instrument itself — with no need for pedals or an amplifier. Bluetooth^® support allows you to wirelessly connect your smart devices and play your favorite songs directly through the guitar, and a built-in looper enables you to effortlessly record and play back your performances, layer melodies over backing tracks and even create percussive beats by tapping the guitar. Pair it with the free TAG Remote app (compatible with both iOS and Android) to fine-tune effects and manage loop phrases directly from your smart device, putting total control at your fingertips. With the TAG3 C, the creative possibilities are endless.

SEQTRAK Music Creation Station

SEQTRAK is a groundbreaking music creation station that empowers you to unlock your creativity from wherever you happen to be. Capture ideas quickly through its lightning-fast, all-in-one system that includes drums, synths, sampling and sequencing, all packed into a compact, lightweight design. Create original music with two versatile sound engines, then refine with deep editing, custom samples and video creation using the intuitive SEQTRAK app. When you’re ready, share your sounds, collaborate with other artists, and connect with fans around the world using its powerful performance features and video creator. And with the recent release of OS v1.2 software (available as a free download), workflow is improved even further, with autosave and new loop and mute modes that allow you to create a more unique and personalized sound. In addition, a count-in function during real-time MIDI recording has been added so you can achieve the perfect take with ease. You can also quickly shift octaves while playing, perform quantized transitions and extend pattern length while automatically copying the existing content — even use external MIDI devices to trigger animations, adding dynamic visuals to your performances.

9600 SERIES Marching Drum Carriers

Yamaha has been crafting industry-standard drum set hardware for more than half a century and empowering top-tier ensembles with exceptional marching instruments. MC-9600 Series Field Corps marching drum carriers are the culmination of that vast experience. They offer a form-fit design, with wedged shoulder and back bar padding that comfortably sink inward and lock into place, allowing complex body movements and choreography. The high-performance padding is made from athletic moisture-wicking fabric that promotes airflow to keep players cool while resisting odors, and recessed drum key bolts protect uniforms from excessive wear and tear. Each component can be adjusted with a standard drum key while wearing the carrier, making customization quick and easy. Torso height and tilt are adjustable to provide a comfortable fit for a wide variety of body types and allow the carrier to serve as a tilted or flat playing surface for snare drums.

YEV Pro Electric Violins

YEV Pro electric violins are newly developed high-end instruments that strive to achieve authentic acoustic violin sound and playability, combined with an elegant design for impressive on-stage presence, whether performing solo or with an ensemble. Like traditional acoustic violins, they feature a hollow chamber body with a spruce top and maple back, resulting in rich resonance that is roughly equivalent to that of an acoustic violin, along with a similar weight. The bridge offers improved sound and response, thanks to A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), an innovative wood-reforming technology developed by Yamaha. Both the four-string YEV104PRO and five-string YEV105PRO models are outfitted with a built-in piezo-electric pickup for connection to any standard amplifier or P.A. system, and are available in three different colors: Deep Red, Natural and Brown, and Natural and Black. They also come equipped with Wittner Finetune Pegs, which have internal gears for precise and quick tuning.

YX-2035PR Xylophone

YX-2035PR xylophones offer premium features in a compact instrument that’s perfect for students deepening their involvement in the world of percussion playing at school or at home. The three-and-a-half-octave playing surface is outfitted with premium Pao Rosa bars that provide bright tones similar to that of Yamaha professional rosewood xylophones, while wider 1.5″ bars improve playability for beginners and intermediate students. In addition, a gas spring height adjustment system promotes player comfort and proper technique, while also making the instrument easier to transport.

DHR15M Powered Loudspeaker

The DHR15M two-way powered loudspeaker is perfect for use as an onstage monitor. It pairs a 15″ woofer with a 1.75″ high frequency driver in a compact, low profile plywood enclosure with a polyurea coating for a robust, scratch-resistant surface. The custom-designed coaxial driver delivers precise, smooth phase and frequency response, and the powerful built-in 1000-watt amplifier and high performance DSP ensures best-in-class sound quality. While typically placed on the floor, the DHR15M also comes equipped with a pole socket for use on a stand.

NS-800A Bookshelf Speaker

NS-800A bookshelf speakers fuse rich aesthetics with the latest advanced technology. The unique diaphragm material produces exceptionally unified tone, while the large-capacity cabinet delivers spacious sound — all topped off with a beautiful grand piano-like finish for an even more luxurious music listening experience. This uncompromising two-way system pairs a 6-1/2″ woofer with a 1-1/4″ dome tweeter, enclosed within a chamber designed to suppress unwanted resonance, with a patented Acoustic Absorber that eliminates standing waves so that the original realism of music is reproduced with full energy and dynamics. Solid brass speaker terminals provide secure connection and a luxurious feel, and the crossover circuitry utilizes high-quality componentry for faithful reproduction of all musical instruments. The NS-800A also incorporates a Twisted Flare Port that reduces air flow noise, providing accurate frequency response with clear, tight bass reproduction.

R-N2000A Network Receiver

The R-N2000A is a next-generation network Hi-Fi receiver that’s compatible with all lossless and high-resolution music sources, including streaming services. It offers breathtakingly beautiful sound thanks to an innovative design that incorporates a floating, balanced power amplifier and a Toroidal power transformer, along with an ESS Ultra DAC for high-performance digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, symmetrical construction and the utilization of mechanical ground maximizes rigidity for expressive and rhythmic bass. A rear panel HDMI ARC terminal assures excellent TV sound, and the speaker terminals are cut from pure brass for highly secure connection. Precision EQ and YPAO^®-R.S.C. (Yamaha Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer with Reflected Sound Control) allow you to customize the frequency response for your particular listening environment, and front-panel level meters convey dynamics and music pulse with a nostalgic Hi-Fi era look. The R-N2000A is also Yamaha MusicCast-compatible for interfacing with other devices in your home, as well as easy access to a variety of streaming services such as Amazon Music HD and Spotify^®.

62 SERIES Limited Edition Saxophones

YAS-62SK.

YTS-62ASK.

The limited edition 62 Series alto and tenor saxophones combine stunning visual aesthetics with the iconic sound of the New 62 models. These special saxes feature a gorgeous contrast between the player’s choice of gold (SK models) or amber lacquer (ASK models) and silver-plated keys. The addition of the Yamaha Atelier Special ASP neck screw adds comfortable ergonomics and an increased stability to the playing feel. Combine these features with the unique “Kangakki” engraving on the bell with the legendary Yamaha 62 series sound, and you have an instrument designed for any sax player to take their performance to the next level.

DTX6K5-M Electronic Drum Kit

The latest addition to the Yamaha DTX electronic drum lineup is the DTX6K5-M. This kit combines the power of the DTX-PRO module with the larger mesh and cymbal pads found on the DTX8. The tunable REMO 2-Ply mesh heads offer snare and tom playing surface sizes of 12″ / 10″ / 10″ / 10″ respectively, with outstanding noise reduction, durability and feel when hit, as well as exceptional rebound. The snare pad is equipped with three sensors that precisely respond to delicate stick work, and the 3-zone PCY155 ride cymbal pad offers independent edge, bow and bell triggering, as well as choke and mute functionality. The included DTX-PRO module is packed with hundreds of studio-quality acoustic and electronic voices and easy-to-use kit modifier knobs for a wide range of tonal possibilities. The DTX6K-5 is also fully compatible with the free DTX Touch app, which allows the adjustment of parameters such as muffling, pad layering, trigger levels/velocity, mix EQ, modify panning and other effects, all in real time.

Rio3224-D3 / Rio1608-D3 Third Generation I/O Racks

These third-generation R Series I/O rack units deliver outstanding sonic transparency and built-in Dante networking. Compatible with all Yamaha Rivage digital mixing systems as well as DM7 Series and DM3 Series consoles, they offer freedom of placement and the ability to create multi-unit combinations, with dual internal power supply units for high reliability, and primary and secondary connectors for redundancy. The Rio3224-D3 model adds 32 analog inputs and 16 outputs, along with 8 AES/EBU digital outputs, while the Rio1608-D3 adds 16 analog inputs and 8 outputs. Both provide a mini-LCD display with setup functions to simplify workflow and provide local control of gain and other parameters.
