The main industries in the Hamamatsu-area are the textile industry, the musical instrument manufacturing industry and the motorcycle manufacturing industry. Recently, due to intensification of the international competition and the structural change of the social circumstances, the industries in this area are pressed to change their economic system and management style. In fact, the sluggishness of the textile and the musical instrument manufacturing industry has become a serious problem to this area. The musical instrument manufacturing industry is a representative industry of the Hamamatsu-area. As the subject of our research we took up the piano manufacturing industry and tried to make clear why the piano manufacturers have gathered in the Hamamatsu-area and what difficulties they face at the turning point of the Japanese economy. We also touched future perspective and problem on this industry.The results of our study are summed up as follows.(1) The piano manufacturing industry came into existence, based on the local, historical accumulation of skill, as other local industries.(2) The accidental factors as the success of domestic production of the organ by T. Yamaha, had a big effect on the development of this industry.(3) The competition between enterprises in the area hastened the growth of this industry.(4) Now at the end of the 20th century this industry approaches the turning point, facing stagnant demand and international competition.
