Yamaha B30 SC3 Silent upright piano

Yamaha B30 SILENT Piano™: Uncompromising performance with total flexibility

The Yamaha B30 SILENT Piano™ builds on the NEW B Series design, combining the most powerful acoustic performance in the range with the flexibility to play at any time. It delivers the depth, projection and dynamic control of a larger upright piano, with the added benefit of private practice through headphones.

The NEW B Series has been shaped through input from players, teachers, technicians and piano dealers, helping refine both sound and usability. The taller cabinet and extended soundboard reflect this approach, delivering maximum tonal depth and responsiveness.

Its sound is broader and more commanding, making it ideal for larger spaces and more advanced playing, while the SILENT Piano™ system allows for complete flexibility without compromising touch.

Clear, balanced acoustic tone that develops over time

The B30 produces a powerful, clearly articulated tone with strong resonance and balance across the keyboard.

Over time, the tonal character develops further, becoming more expressive and responsive to the player.

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.
