Key Features

  • Acoustic Authenticity: At its core, the Yamaha B1 SC3 is an acoustic piano with the time-honored craftsmanship of Yamaha. This ensures the familiar touch, response, and sound of a traditional piano, fostering an expressive and organic playing experience.
  • SILENT Piano™ Technology: The silent functionality allows for playing with headphones, eliminating sound output through the piano's strings, and providing digital sound directly to the individual, ideal for practicing without disturbing others.
  • Articulation Sensor System: This advanced feature enhances the responsiveness of the piano by accurately capturing the nuances of each keystroke, maintaining the authentic feel and dynamic expression of an acoustic piano, even in silent mode.
  • Grand Expression Modeling: A technology that simulates the tonal and resonance changes inherent to grand pianos, allowing for the articulation of subtle musical expression and enhancing the playing experience for both classical and modern pianists.
  • Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): VRM extends the aural ambience and resonance of the instrument. When in SILENT Mode, VRM adds depth and complexity to the sound, closely replicating the sympathetic string vibrations and the warm resonances of an acoustic piano.
  • CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial Voices: The inclusion of these sampled grand piano voices brings the sounds of two world-renowned concert pianos to the user's fingertips, offering versatility and the superior tonal quality expected at concert performances.
  • Binaural Sampling: For an immersive and natural auditory experience when using headphones, binaural sampling captures the piano's sound as if the player were seated at a grand piano, contributing to prolonged sessions without listener fatigue.
  • Quick Escape System: This system maintains the natural, responsive feel of the grand piano action even when the piano is in silent mode, ensuring the tactile sensation of the keys and hammers is not compromised when practicing privately.
  • Built-in Recording Functions: With both immediate playback and USB flash-drive recording options, pianists can easily review their performances and share their music in high-quality WAV format, facilitating practice and composition.
  • Smart Pianist App Compatibility: The ability to connect wirelessly with the Smart Pianist app via Bluetooth® MIDI brings intuitive control to the pianist's fingertips, enhancing the user experience with a variety of digital features.
  • Automatic Accompaniment with Rhythm Types: Adding an element of fun and creativity, the system comes with 20 built-in rhythm patterns for drums and bass, allowing pianists to experiment with different styles and arrangements.
  • Volume Control with Acoustic Resonance: Players have the freedom to adjust the piano's volume when in acoustic mode, making it suitable for different environments without sacrificing the rich resonance of a Yamaha piano.
