Music instrument maker Yamaha was in Milan this year showing some prototypes for a collection of new keyboard based instruments that fit nicely into lifestyles; there was Key as journey above for those that travel, Key as gift "like a wooden toy, treasured for always", Key between people for music between friends, and Key like jeans for a more personal, relaxed experience. Per Yamaha, "Keys are important; something that everyone possesses. We would like to offer everyone an array of keys, in the hopes of giving the people who come to our exhibition some insight into the bond between people and instruments, and the human relationships that music fosters between people.".
