Introducing the Yamaha C2X SH2 Silent Grand Piano

At 5'8 in length and described by some as a boudoir grand piano, the speaking string length and soundboard area of the Yamaha C2 gives it a significant tonal advantage over the smaller C1, making it a popular choice for the home and also for teaching.

Fitted with the latest Silent Technology, the C2X SH2 allows the piano to not only be played acoustically, but also with headphones making it completely silent to everyone but the pianist!

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.

SH2 Silent system

Select from a pallet of 20 high quality instrument voices to suit your musical genre. SH2 also features a metronome, 10 song on-board record facility and a USB audio recorder, all of which can be controlled via the sleek and intuitive control panel. MIDI IN/OUT and USB to HOST enables the SH2 piano to be used as a controller, or for the player to control the sound engine via an external source. Connect to your Smart device via Bluetooth and play along with your favourite songs.

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!
