Yamaha B20 SILENT Piano™: Elevated Resonance, Absolute Privacy
The Yamaha B20 SILENT Piano™Â offers a significant upgrade in acoustic presence while providing the cutting-edge versatility of a digital instrument. Based on the 116cm B20 upright, this hybrid model features the advanced SC3 SILENT System, allowing you to experience the physical touch of a real piano action through headphones at any volume you choose.
When the SILENT function is engaged, the hammers are stopped before striking the strings. High-precision sensors capture every nuance of your performance, delivering the majestic sound of world-class concert grands directly to your ears.
Core Acoustic Excellence
The B20 Silent is built upon a superior acoustic foundation, offering more power and depth than smaller models:
-
Larger Soundboard & Scale: The 116cm cabinet houses a larger Yezo Spruce soundboard and longer bass strings, delivering a richer, more commanding acoustic voice.
-
Enhanced Structural Stability: Supported by five sturdy back posts, the B20 is engineered for tuning stability and long-term durability in homes or schools.
-
CFX-Derived Hammers:Â Double wool-felted hammers refined through a top-felt process provide a clearer, more expressive tonal response when playing acoustically.
-
New Full-Width Music Stand:Â The extra-wide music rest provides ample space for sprawling scores and large repertoire books across the entire width of the piano.
The SC3 Silent Advantage
The SC3 system ensures your digital practice feels as authentic as your acoustic performance:
-
Two World-Class Piano Samples: Toggle between the brilliant power of the Yamaha CFX and the legendary, warm resonance of the Bösendorfer Imperial.
-
Binaural Sampling & VRM: Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) replicates the complex vibrations of a grand piano’s body and strings for an incredibly immersive 3D headphone experience.
-
Grand Expression Modeling:Â This technology ensures that even the most subtle changes in your key stroke are translated into the rich tonal variations of a concert grand.
-
Versatile Voice Library:Â Access 12 high-quality voices, including electric pianos, organs, and strings, to suit any musical mood.
