Introducing the Yamaha b2 SC2 Silent Upright Piano

The b2 is the mid-range b Series model, which fitted with the SC2 Silent system becomes a perfect harmony of acoustic and digital technologies.

With it's solid spruce soundboard and traditional style cabinetry it is a refined and beautiful instrument which produces a fuller tone than its compact dimensions would otherwise suggest.

Fitted with the latest Silent Technology, the b2 SC2 allows the piano to not only be played acoustically, but also with headphones making it completely silent to everyone but the pianist!

SC2 Silent system

Select from a pallet of 10 high quality instrument voices to suit your musical genre. SC2 also features a metronome, 1 track record facility and USB to HOST, all of which can be controlled via the sleek and intuitive control panel


Practice in complete silence!

Activate the silent mode and a rail moves between the hammers and the strings to 'switch off' the acoustic piano. Highly sophisticated optical sensor technology captures the precise movement of each key and you can hear the beautiful sound of a Yamaha CFX concert grand through your headphones.

Binaural Sampling

The sound of the Yamaha CFX concert grand has been captured from the perspective of the pianist to create a truly spacial and immersive sound. The piano sounds like it is in front of you rather than in your ears, which also reduces fatigue and enables you to practice for longer!

Virtual Resonance Modelling technology

Virtual Resonance Modelling technology reproduces the resonance produced by the frame, rim and strings of an acoustic piano and brings the sound of the fabulous Yamaha CFX concert grand piano to life.

Download the Smart Pianist app

Smart Pianist connects your iOS or Android device to the piano, either via USB or via the optional UD-WL01 wireless LAN adaptor to remotely control the instrument's sounds, control the record facility and metronome and even display music notation on screen. The app will also scan your iTunes library and produce a basic score so you can learn to play your favourite songs!

Installation at the Yamaha factory

Unlike most silent systems, Yamaha's SC2 and SH2 Silent systems are installed during the manufacturing process. Yamaha piano actions are designed to accomodate Silent systems, so you can be sure of the highest quality performance and reliability. Nothing has been compromised!
