Yes.

I work on a fair amount of new Yamis out of the box, and their consistency
and quality control really are quite amazing.  If you haven't worked on new
Yamahas in the last couple of years, I think you'll be pleasantly
surprised.

I've only done a few replacement sets with their hammers, (we usually stick
with Renner Blues) but the ones I have done have turned out well.
