Key Features

  • Acoustic Authenticity: Retaining Yamaha’s century-old craft in piano manufacturing, the YUS5 SH3 maintains the expressive control, rich sound, and natural touch of a premium acoustic upright piano. Ivorite keys ensure a tactile experience reminiscent of the best that traditional pianos offer.
  • SILENT Piano™ Technology: With the revolutionary silencing feature, the hammers stop short of hitting the strings, allowing you to practice with headphones at any time. This digital twist to the acoustic experience ensures that the pianist can play silently without compromising on the feel or responsiveness of the instrument.
  • Articulation Sensor System: This state-of-the-art sensor technology captures every nuance of the playing, from the speed of keystrokes to the depth and force, allowing for high-precision simulations of hammer movements. These non-contact sensors ensure that even the subtlest aspects of performance are relayed accurately in SILENT Mode.
  • Grand Expression Modeling: The YUS5 SH3 includes Grand Expression Modeling, a feature that mimics the intricate mechanics of a grand piano. It responds to the speed and force of the player’s touch, allowing real-time tonal nuances and dynamics, even when using headphones in TransAcoustic™ or SILENT mode.
  • Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): VRM simulates the sympathetic resonance of an acoustic grand piano, including the subtle sounds of dampers lifting off strings and the resonance through the soundboard, case, and aliquot stringing. This feature brilliantly captures the complex interplay of sounds in Quiet Mode, delivering a rich and varied sonic experience.
  • Celebrated Yamaha and Bösendorfer Voices: The YUS5 SH3 offers meticulously sampled sounds of Yamaha's CFX concert grand piano and Bösendorfer's Imperial grand, providing pianists with two distinct and prestigious sonic options. Additional voices, such as electric piano and harpsichord, add even more variety to a pianist's palette.
  • Binaural Sampling for Headphone Use: Binaural sampling technology offers an immersive and natural headphone experience, making you feel as though you are playing a grand piano. The sampling mimics the way sound is naturally heard, ensuring a realistic and comfortable practice session for extended periods.
  • Quick Escape System: The innovative Quick Escape System preserves the touch and responsiveness of a grand piano action even when the piano is in TransAcoustic™ or SILENT mode. This mechanical adaptation ensures the integrity of the acoustic playing experience is never compromised.
  • Rhythmic Accompaniments: Offering 20 different rhythm patterns, including drums and bass, the YUS5 SH3 adds a dynamic layer to practice sessions and performances, providing automatic accompaniment and new ways to explore musical ideas.
  • Two Recording Functions: The piano boasts a built-in recording function for instant playback and a USB flash drive recording feature that saves performances as WAV files. These tools are invaluable for reviewing progress, sharing performances, or for playback on other devices.
  • Smart Pianist App Compatibility: By integrating with Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app through Bluetooth® MIDI, this feature offers intuitive control over the piano's settings, providing a user-friendly interface that enhances the playing and practice experience.
  • Volume Control and Resonance: Despite its ability to operate in near silence for the user, the YUS5 SH3 also comes with a volume control feature, allowing pianists to adjust the sound output while still enjoying the rich resonance and depth that only an acoustic piano can provide.
