Yamaha B30 SC3 Silent upright piano

Introducing the new Yamaha B30 SILENT Piano™:

The Yamaha B30 is the largest model in the new B Series upright piano range, standing 121cm tall and housed in a handsome, traditionally styled cabinet. With a larger frame, longer strings and a more expansive soundboard than the B20 and B10, the B30 delivers greater depth of tone, projection and dynamic range.

Combining powerful acoustic performance with the freedom to play at any time, the factory-fitted SC3 Silent system allows private practice through headphones, alongside a range of useful digital features. For families, this means piano practice can take place at busy or otherwise inconvenient times without disturbing others. For students and more advanced players, MIDI connectivity, Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth MIDI provide seamless integration with apps and DAW software. The system also includes built-in recording, a metronome and 20 drum patterns for added versatility.

Well equipped and highly capable, the B30 is an excellent choice for the home, particularly where players of different abilities will be sharing the piano. Its responsive action makes it approachable for complete beginners, while its tonal depth, projection and dynamic capabilities provide more than enough performance for advanced musicians.

Clear, balanced acoustic tone that develops over time

The B30 has been designed to produce a pure, clearly articulated tone with a natural sense of resonance. Its scale and soundboard design ensure balance across the keyboard, with a warm bass supporting a clear and focused treble.

As the piano is played over time, the natural materials used in its construction begin to mature, allowing the tonal character to develop further. This gradual change gives the instrument a more familiar and expressive voice, supporting long-term enjoyment.

SILENT Piano™ system for private practice

Silent mode allows the piano to be played through headphones while maintaining the natural feel of the action. Yamaha’s sensor system ensures accurate response without affecting touch.

Advanced digital technologies recreate the sound of an acoustic piano for a realistic and immersive experience.

Refined hammer design for clarity, control and sustain

The hammers are processed using a method derived from Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano. By preserving the natural elasticity of the felt, this approach allows each note to sound clearly while maintaining consistent sustain.

This results in a tone that remains stable across all registers, helping both melody and accompaniment to come through with clarity as players develop their technique.

Redesigned soundboard and improved resonance

The larger cabinet allows for a bigger soundboard and longer bass strings, delivering greater tonal depth and a wider dynamic range.

The solid spruce soundboard and five back posts ensure consistent resonance and long-term stability.

Precision action for consistent performance

The action mechanism consists of over 60 precision components per key, manufactured to extremely fine tolerances. This ensures smooth operation and a responsive touch, allowing players to control dynamics accurately.

Consistent performance across the keyboard supports both early development and more advanced playing over time.

Built for lasting quality and stability

Wood selection and drying are carefully controlled to ensure long-term stability. Yamaha’s seasoning process stabilises moisture content, helping to prevent warping while maintaining tonal consistency.

The frame is designed to withstand over twenty tons of string tension, supporting both structural integrity and acoustic performance, while precision-manufactured tuning pins contribute to reliable tuning stability.

Designed for practical, everyday use

A wide music stand extends across the fallboard, providing stable support for larger scores and improving playing space. Its non-slip surface helps keep sheet music securely in place.

The soft-close fallboard mechanism allows the lid to close gently and safely, protecting hands while maintaining a clean, refined appearance.
