This iconic Australian brand name is now manufactured at the Pearl River factory in China.

Pearl River under-went extensive re-fitting and production technique upgrades to ISO 9001 certification when Yamaha became a major shareholder (Hence the name on the factory entrance sign was "Yamaha Pearl River Piano Factory"). The factory is now the largest producer of pianos in the world and manufacture for numerous brands, including Steinway. Pearl River have since bought back Yamaha's interest and is now sole owner.
