GC1G / GC1FP (Georgian Brown mahogany / French Provincial Brown Cherry)
GC1M* / DGC1 / DGC1ME3 (*In North America, GC1 was introduced without the sostenuto pedal, instead (it was bass sustain. In 2007, it finally launched in Europe, but never having received the non sosteunto version, there was no need to add the M designation; whereas in North America, the GC1M was also launched in 2007 to distinguish between the earlier version. Confusingly, GC1M's from NA are the same as GC1 from EU, while GC1 from NA is a completely different model. This confusion could have been avoided if they'd simply named the European ones the same, CG1M)

Organs
Yamaha organ (1888–)Nishikawa organ (left, 1884–c. 1936)
Pump organs
In 1888, Yamaha started to manufacture their pump organs in the form of reed organs.
In 1921, Yamaha acquired Nishikawa & Sons in Yokohama after the death of its founder, and continued to manufacture Nishikawa organs and pianos until 1936.
Magna organ (1934)
Yamaha Magna Organ & Tone Cabinet (1935)
Magna Organ introduced in 1935, was a multi-timbral keyboard instrument invented in 1934 by a Yamaha engineer, Sei-ichi Yamashita.
It was a kind of electro-acoustic instrument, an acoustic instrument with additional electronic circuits for sound modification. The Magna Organ was an electric-fan driven free reed organ with the microphone sealed in a soundproof box, instead of the electrostatic pickups used on electrostatic reed organs.
Early designs of the Magna Organ were a kind of additive-synthesizer that summed-up the partials generated by the frequency-multipliers. However, it was difficult to achieve polyphony without intermodulation distortions with the technology of the 1930s. According to the additional patents and the reviews at that time, its later design as finally implemented, seems to have shifted to the sound-colorization system using the combinations of sets of free reeds, microphones and loudspeakers.
Note that, similar type of instruments using the pairs of free reeds and microphones sealed in double-soundproof boxes, were later re-commercialized as Croda Organs in 1959 by Tōyō Denshi Gakki Kenkyūjo (In English: Tōyō Electronic Musical Instrument Laboratory) in Tokyo.
The most models and years of introductions are based on official chronicle. Also, the photograph of major models on each era is available on the 50th anniversary site.
Prototype Electone
E-T (1958, prototype concept model)
ET-5 (May 1959, Improved version of E-T Prototype)
The Yamaha WX5, WX11, and WX7 are models of monophonicMIDIwind controller musical instruments manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation that have since been discontinued. The fingering system is based on the saxophone basic fingering. Like a keyboard controller, wind controllers send MIDI note information electronically to an external sound module or tone generator which in turn synthesizes a tremendous variety of musical tones. Unlike a keyboard controller which is usually polyphonic, a wind controller is monophonic. The only limits to the kinds of sounds available are the limitations of the external module/tone generator, not the WX5 itself. A WX5 performer can sound like any melodic instrument: wind, string, percussion, keyboard, or purely electronic, including special sound effects. In addition most tone generators a mix of instruments can be programmed.
The WX5 wind controller simulates a wind instrument because of the way it is played, the key layout, and because it responds to breath (wind) pressure as well as lip pressure on a simulated reed mouthpiece similar to that of a saxophone or clarinet. The wind and lip pressure information is converted to MIDI data which is interpreted by the external sound module. Usually the wind pressure is interpreted as loudness and lip pressure is interpreted as pitch bend; thus, the instrument responds much like an acoustic wind instrument and extremely realistic musical phrasing is available to the player.
The WX5 has a 16-key layout similar to a standard saxophone. It also includes a built-in MIDI output connector, a dedicated connector and cable for direct connections to Yamaha WX-Series tone generators, a high-resolution wind sensor, and a thumb-controlled pitch bend wheel. Yamaha recommend that this device be used with the Yamaha VL70m Virtual Acoustic Tone Generator.
The WX7 was the first model that Yamaha produced, beginning in 1987. This was followed by the WX11 in 1993, and then the WX5 in 1999—2001. The WX5 was discontinued in October 2017.
Note: the 1993 date for introduction of the WX11 is in doubt. On the 1991 CD release "Love In" by the Australian band "The Freaked Out Flower Children" (Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/4281005) Sophie Lee is credited as playing the WX11.

Student and intermediate models are numbered in one system. The first number shows the material/series; the second shows if there is an offset G and/or a split E, and the type of keys; and the third shows if the flute is the latest or not. Currently, latest models will end with the number 2, but older models may end with the number 1, or 5. Different suffixes mean different things - 'H' means the flute has a B footjoint; 'AL' means the instrument is part of Yamaha's 'Allegro' lineup of instruments; 'U' means the instrument has a curved headjoint; 'GL' and 'SL' signal the material of the lip-plate (being gold and silver respectively); 'HD' means that the instrument is a high durability instrument.

Additionally, for Series 600 - 900 flutes, the last number will be seven if it is the latest model. Older models may have a 4, or other numbers. Additional suffixes include (but are not limited to): 'W' meaning the flute is wooden; 'CT' for a C# trill.
For series 900 flutes, the suffixes A, B, and C show how much of the flute is gold.

Musical Sirens
Between 1950 and 1998, the Yamaha Corporation produced a form of outdoor warning siren which was designed to play music, rather than alert the public of danger. Using several mechanical sirens tuned to a specific octave, the siren would use either electromagnetic or solenoid-driven sliding dampers which would open to allow air to enter each siren to play a musical note, or close to silence each siren. The musical sirens could be played directly with a keyboard located in a control station, or played automatically through a music box-like mechanism. There were two distinct generations produced, with the first being a 5-meter long siren with 10 siren units on a common driveshaft, and the second being a vertical unit inside of a box, which contained the siren units and had two shafts connected through belts to make it more compact. These could be controlled through a MIDI controller, instead of the music box system. These were created by the president of Yamaha at the time to harness the sheer sound output of a siren to play music, and to ease the fears and memory of war and air raids for the public. These sirens became "symbols of peace" and were widely installed on department stores and city halls. Production ended on these sirens in 1998, with Yamaha ceasing support for them in 2011. Most of these musical sirens have been decommissioned as parts became scarce or unavailable, although some units remain in service today.

it supported Yamaha XG level 1, some of MU50 additions, DB50XG compatibilities, Roland GS in TG300B mode, OPL3 FM synthesizer, some emulation of Sound Blaster Pro (stereo 8-bit at 22 kHz) and MPU-401 (MIDI interface).
A siren made by Yamaha in Japan after World War II to make air raid sirens less terrifying. The first gen was a 10 to 12 note siren using rotor and dampers. Such ones can be seen and heard in locations such as the Tokiwa department store in Japan.
YAMAHA MUSIC SIREN 2ND GENERATION
A siren that was a more developed version of the Yamaha music siren that used pneumatic air to move the dampers which would open and close creating notes with the sirens. This was also a more compact model. This was done by putting the rotors in stacks to minimize space. It was then covered with a metal structure to prevent weathering.
