Yamaha B20 Upright Acoustic Piano | 116cm

Yamaha B20 Acoustic Upright Piano: Elevated Power and Resonance

Stepping up in both stature and sound, the Yamaha B20 (116cm) is the ideal choice for those who require a fuller, more commanding acoustic presence. While maintaining a compact footprint suitable for homes and schools, the B20 utilizes its increased height to house longer strings and a larger soundboard, delivering a richer bass and enhanced tonal depth.

Combining Yamaha’s legendary build quality with refined aesthetics, the B20 is the perfect upgrade for progressing students and discerning adult hobbyists.

Key Features at a Glance

• Enhanced Soundboard & Scale: The 116cm cabinet allows for a larger Yezo Spruce soundboardand longer bass strings, resulting in a more powerful, resonant voice compared to smaller models.

• Superior Structural Integrity: Featuring a reinforced five back post construction, the B20 is built to withstand years of rigorous practice while maintaining tuning stability.

• CFX-Derived Hammer Technology: Equipped with double wool-felted hammers refined through a top-felt process. This increases elasticity for a clearer, more sustained, and richly expressive tone.

• New Full-Width Music Stand: The redesigned extra-wide music rest provides ample space for sprawling scores and heavy music books across the entire width of the piano.

• In-House V-Pro Frame: Utilizes Yamaha’s proprietary Vacuum Shield Moulding Process (V-Pro) for a frame that is stronger, more consistent, and visually stunning.

Performance & Build Quality

The B20 strikes the perfect balance between professional performance and domestic convenience. The added height provides a more traditional upright profile and a significant boost in acoustic projection without overwhelming your living space.
