Hi everyone,

I want to visit the NYC Yamaha Atelier to have my Shew horn looked at and to try a few flugels - how does one arrange a visit to that place?

What is the procedure, those of you that have visited recently?

Thanks!

Hello! I'm actually the new artist relations representative working at the Yamaha Atelier in Manhattan. I just started here recently and there was a span of time after my predecessor left when there was not a specialist in NY, which is likely why you weren't able to get in touch. I apologize that it's been hard to reach us. If you'd like to set up an appointment, you can email me directly at tkmiecik@yamaha.com and I'll be happy to help!

Tom

Has Wayne Tanabe left?

Ed, I just spoke with Wayne Tanabe a few weeks ago. This sounds more like there's a "changing of the guard" in artist relations, not repair.

You're right - Wayne is still here (luckily for us)!

Hi, TH community - just confirming that I did end up getting to visit the Yamaha Atelier yesterday. Tom is great to work with, and of course Wayne knows every little thing about Yamaha horns and a few simple adjustments had my Z trumpet playing better than ever.

I even bought a new flugelhorn - review will appear in a separate thread!

To those with questions about visiting the Atelier, I can enthusiastically recommend getting in touch with Tom, who made the whole process seamless.

Cheers.
