Since our founding in 1887, Yamaha has dedicated over 120 years to studying and learning the intricacies of wood. Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) is Yamaha’s unique technology which alters woods as if they have been naturally aged for decades. By controlling temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure precisely, Yamaha has brought to modern violin making new possibilities and enhances materials that are reminiscent of a fine instrument that has matured over many years.
