Yamaha B2 (Silent Piano)

• Authentic Acoustic Piano Experience: The Yamaha B2 SC3 Silent Piano boasts a traditional acoustic design providing the natural touch, feel, and sound Yamaha pianos are known for. Its larger dimensions and heavier construction give rise to deeper and more resonant tones, matching professional performance standards while maintaining affordability.
• SILENT Piano™ Technology: Equipped with advanced silencing features, this piano allows for playing in SILENT Mode. By stopping the hammers just before they strike the strings, players can use headphones to hear digital samples of piano sounds—perfect for private practice without disturbing others or being disturbed yourself.
• Articulation Sensor System: This innovative system interprets the nuanced movements of pianists' fingers, relaying from the keys through the action, and results in precise simulations of hammer movements and string strikes. The non-contact sensors ensure the natural feel of the piano is preserved.
• Grand Expression Modeling: The B2 SC3 Silent Piano introduces Grand Expression Modeling, a feature that replicates the complex tonal interactions within the piano body, allowing players to explore subtle expressive nuances. The technology models the hammers' force, speed, and even the dampers' interactions with the strings, enhancing the dynamic and expressive range during performance.
• Virtual Resonance Modeling: With advanced virtual resonance technology, the piano recreates the grand piano's sympathetic string resonance, reflecting the vibrant tones produced when strings interact with the soundboard and case. This modeling gives the player an immersive and dynamic sound experience, particularly in Quiet Mode.
• Selection of Grand Piano Voices: The SC3 features meticulously sampled sounds from two iconic concert grand pianos—the Yamaha CFX and the Bösendorfer Imperial. Each of the 88 keys has been recorded to capture the unique tonal characteristics, alongside a variety of other instrument voices such as Electric Piano, Harpsichord, and Organ, to expand the player's creative palette.
• Binaural Sampling: For headphone users, binaural sampling technology provides a three-dimensional sound experience, capturing audio as if the player is seated in front of a grand piano. This immersive feature makes long practice sessions with headphones feel natural and less fatiguing.
• Quick Escape System: This mechanism ensures that the action of the grand piano remains responsive and expressive, aligning the hammers and strings optimally for both acoustic and silent play. This system keeps the characteristic touch of a grand piano consistent across different modes.
• Drum and Bass Rhythms: With 20 rhythm patterns that include drum and bass accompaniment, players can add variety and complexity to their performances, practicing with a virtual band for a more engaging experience.
• Recording Functions: The B2 SC3 Silent Piano is outfitted with easy-to-use recording features that allow players to record and playback performances directly within the piano or onto a USB flash drive in WAV format, facilitating practice and sharing of music.
• Smart Pianist App Compatibility: Integrating with the Yamaha Smart Pianist app through Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, players gain wireless control over the instrument's features, making it easier to access, customize, and navigate the piano's digital aspects.
