Yamaha Phoenix 13 Inch x 6.5 Inch Brass Snare Drum Overview
Yamaha Drums is offering a new 40th anniversary Phoenix snare drum that is hand-engraved with part of the same logo that adorned the company's early organs.The drum's brass shell, chosen for its clear, well-balanced tone, measures 13-in. x 6.5-in and features an aluminum die-cast hoop and a one-piece lug. The engraving, similar to the intricate designs that now appear on Yamaha's saxophone bells, is applied to the drum shell's black lacquered finish using the same custom hand-engraving technique that the company's craftsmen have nurtured for more than a century of instrument-making.
Nippon Gakki, the predecessor to the Yamaha Corporation, adorned its organs with the Phoenix logo, which it registered as its official trademark in 1888. The design embodies the spirit of the company's founder, Torakusu Yamaha, whose goal was to produce instruments of world-class quality. The interlocking triple tuning fork logo used by the company today derives in part from the tuning fork prominently featured in the Phoenix logo from yesteryear.
