Key Features

  • SILENT Mode with Advanced Silencing Technology: At the core of the Yamaha YUS1 SH3 Silent Piano is its innovative silencing feature, which employs sensors to capture key movements, allowing you to play with headphones and experience detailed digital sounds without any acoustic sound. This makes it possible to practice at any time without disturbing others.
  • Articulation Sensor System: This pioneering technology improves dynamic expression by closely capturing the subtle movements of the pianist's fingers. The non-contact sensors maintain the natural piano touch, offering an authentic acoustic piano playing experience even in SILENT mode.
  • Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): The VRM technology enriches your playing with the intricate resonances of a grand piano, emulating the inter-string and soundboard resonances, and even the sound of the dampers lifting off the strings, which contributes to the piano's authentic acoustic characteristics.
  • Grand Expression Modeling: This unique feature dynamically adjusts the audio output to match the force and speed of your keystrokes, allowing for nuanced and expressive performance that replicates the tonal variations of an acoustic grand piano.
  • Yamaha and Bösendorfer Grand Piano Samples: The YUS1 SH3 offers meticulously sampled sounds from Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand piano and the esteemed Bösendorfer Imperial, providing extraordinarily rich and expressive digital piano voices that inspire with their acoustic authenticity.
  • Binaural Sampling: For an immersive headphone experience, the YUS1 SH3 uses binaural sampling techniques, capturing the sound from the perspective of the player, making long practice sessions with headphones comfortable and natural sounding.
  • Bluetooth® MIDI and Smart Pianist App Compatibility: With built-in Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity, you can wirelessly connect to the Smart Pianist app, enabling intuitive control of various instrument features and functions from your smart device.
  • Quick Escape System: This system optimizes the distance between hammers and strings for each playing mode, ensuring a consistent and satisfying piano touch, whether you're in acoustic or silent mode.
  • Rhythmic Accompaniment Options: Enhance your playing experience with 20 inbuilt rhythms featuring automatic accompaniment, adding drums and bass to create full musical arrangements in real time.
