Yamaha Silent Upright Piano

Supremely powerful, totally private

Equipped with the Yamaha Grand Silent System, Silent Series grands integrate an ultra-precise dual-sensor system, Quick Escape action mechanism, incomparable digital piano tone generation and other advanced components into traditional Yamaha acoustic grand pianos.

B Series

Piano is so much more than a musical instrument. It becomes part of your life and, well chosen, will be with you for life. Yamaha have been making pianos for over a century but the b-Series is something of a departure for us. A hundred years of accumulated knowledge has been condensed into our most affordable piano ever. No corners have been cut. No compromises made in materials or workmanship. We simply set out to design a fully featured Yamaha piano but at a lower price. And we succeeded. The b-Series, like all Yamaha pianos, are instruments of extraordinary, natural beauty, combining art, craftsmanship and technology; a joy to play and own.

B1SI

Exemplifying Yamaha's well-established design principles, the b1 SI redefines the word value. Whilst retaining Yamaha standards in every way, the b1 SI offers the joy of Yamaha ownership at a price that will astonish and delight.

Equipped with a new Silent-System.

Every b1 SI comes with a Yamaha HPE-150 stereo headphone. Based on the Yamaha piano b1.
