The New Yamaha B Series: A Bold Step Forward at Piano City
At Piano City, we have always focused on offering instruments that provide the absolute certainty of quality. We know that music is the true heart of a home, and choosing the right instrument is a significant milestone in that story. This is why we are so excited to introduce the New Yamaha B Series—a range that represents a best-in-class standard and the finest entry point into the world of acoustic pianos.
Our connection with Yamaha runs deep. Over the years, we have seen firsthand how their commitment to excellence creates the kind of musical experiences that stay with our customers for a lifetime. Because Yamaha designs are already considered the global industry benchmark, any refinement to this core range is a major event for musicians.
The B Series is designed specifically for the home where music is a priority. It is for the parent who wants to provide their child with a world-class start on a real acoustic, and for the enthusiast ready to move beyond digital to rediscover the authentic soul and touch of a piano. When you choose a B Series from Piano City, you are choosing an instrument built to inspire—providing a beneficial foundation for every stage of your musical journey.
The Acoustic Foundation: Crafted for Excellence
The new B Series features significant upgrades that bring it closer than ever to Yamaha’s professional models:
- The “Crown” and Yezo Spruce Soundboard: All B Series soundboards are now crafted from premium Yezo Spruce (a major upgrade from the Meranti used in previous JU and JX models). They feature a specifically curved soundboard structure known as the “crown,” which is supported by five back posts. This design is engineered to maintain a rich, stable resonance and ensure the piano’s “voice” remains vibrant for decades.
- CFX-Inspired Hammer Design: Using felt-processing methods derived from Yamaha’s flagship CFX Concert Grand, these hammers are double wool-felted to produce a remarkably clear, richly resonant, and sustained tone.
- New Extra-Wide Music Rest: Designed for the modern player, the new music stand spans the width of the piano, providing a massive space to firmly hold large sheet music, tablets, and entire books with ease.
- In-House Precision: Every action part is manufactured in-house by Yamaha, ensuring superior tuning stability and a tactile response that feels natural from the very first touch.
Versatility for Modern Living: Silent & TransAcoustic™
We know that modern life often requires flexibility. At Piano City, we are excited to show you the hybrid versions of the B Series, which combine traditional craftsmanship with world-leading digital technology.
The SILENT Piano™ (SC3 System)
Perfect for apartment living or busy households, the SC3 Silent System allows you to practice at any time of day or night without disturbing a soul. Simply plug in your headphones to hear the breathtaking binaural samples of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands, all while maintaining the real tactile touch of an acoustic action.
The TransAcoustic™ (TC3 System)
The TransAcoustic™ takes it a step further. It does everything the Silent Piano can, but with a revolutionary twist: it uses the piano’s own soundboard as a speaker.
- Control the “Out Loud” Volume: Play acoustically but turn the volume down to a whisper—ideal for reducing noise for neighbors while still feeling the vibration of the strings.
- Stream Audio: Use your piano’s soundboard as a high-fidelity Bluetooth speaker and play along with your favorite tracks.
- Layer Sounds: Blend acoustic strings with digital layers like choir or organ for an immersive orchestral experience.
