Yamaha Band and Orchestral Division announces its new line of Pianicas. Available for the first time in the U.S., Pianicas are free-reed instruments similar to accordions and harmonicas. 

Pianicas are popular in Asian markets and are used primarily for general music education. The top choice for many educators and professional musicians, Yamaha Pianicas produce clear, full tones with solid projection and feature anti-corrosive reeds, providing stable intonation. 

Yamaha will showcase three Pianica models—the 25-note P25F, the 32-note P32D, and the 37-note, three-octave P37D. Each includes a shock-resistant, double walled, blow-molded case, along with a mouthpiece and blowing pipe.
