YAMAHA B10 SC3 POLISHED EBONY SILENT UPRIGHT PIANO WITH NON-ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT PIANO BENCH

From your very first encounter, and as you continue to grow with it, a B Series piano will enrich your daily life for many years to come. We have created an instrument with a pure, clearly articulated sound and a natural, expansive resonance which captivates and inspires – making you want to play even more. And as the natural materials of your piano mature, they develop a character that feels ever more familiar as the piano becomes uniquely yours. In order to ensure lasting quality, Yamaha is firmly committed to overseeing every stage of the piano's development in-house – from initial design to final production. Each and every component, including the soundboard, frame, and action, is crafted by us to ensure uncompromising quality.

Imagine a home where pianists can play freely, and everyone can enjoy the comfort of shared space. Yamaha makes this possible with pianos designed for modern living. Our SILENT Piano™ lets you play anytime, using headphones for a private, immersive experience. The TransAcoustic™ Piano delivers the rich, authentic sound unique to an acoustic piano while giving you full control over volume – and even the ability to play along with your favorite songs* – bringing even greater joy and flexibility to every performance. Yamaha has elegantly blended modern technology with the timeless beauty and expressive power of the acoustic piano, so you can enjoy playing with full satisfaction, whenever inspiration strikes.

Trends may come and go, but the timeless beauty of an acoustic piano endures – cherished now more than ever. Yamaha wants as many people as possible to experience the unique warmth of a room or performance space enhanced by a finely crafted musical instrument made from natural materials. To achieve this, we focused on creating a compact, elegant design that blends seamlessly into daily life, while incorporating convenient design touches – like an easy-to-use music stand – that let you focus entirely on your playing.

Extending the full length of the fallboard, the wide music stand makes it easy to place multiple scores – or even long, unfolding sheets – without the need to turn pages. The top surface is deep and finished with non-slip fine artificial leather, providing stability even for thick music scores, so you can focus entirely on your performance.

The hammers, which strike the strings to produce sound, play a crucial role in shaping the piano’s timbre. To achieve a clear, pure tone, the B Series employs a special method in processing the raw felt used in the hammers – a technique derived from our flagship CFX Concert Grand Piano. This process takes full advantage of the inherent superior elasticity of the felt, resulting in a sound that is remarkably clear, richly resonant, and sustained. Every melody and phrase, across all registers, emerges with vivid presence and expression.

The soundboard is the resonant heart of the piano, and it has been redesigned to achieve a remarkably clear and spacious sound, despite its compact size. This results in a rich bass that supports both the melody and harmonies, creating a beautifully balanced sound where each register can shine. The soundboard features a curved structure known as the “crown,” and even slight changes to its shape can have a significant effect on the resonance of the sound. All B Series models feature five back posts to prevent the crown from changing shape under the strong tension of the strings, ensuring the soundboard maintains the ideal condition for luxurious resonance.

The complex action mechanism of an upright piano, which transmits key movement to the hammers, is made up of over 60 precision parts for each individual key. To ensure smooth operation – a crucial factor in the instrument’s expressive touch and ability to produce the desired sound – Yamaha manufactures all action components in-house. Each part is precision-processed with extraordinary accuracy to an exacting tolerance of 0.05 millimeters and carefully assembled by our skilled craftsmen, to ensure long-term ease of playing. Even if maintenance is required, part replacement is simple, giving you peace of mind and many years of enjoyment with your piano.

To protect the pianist’s hands, the piano features a special soft-close mechanism that gently and safely lowers the fallboard.
