Imagine enjoying the superb touch, rich tone, and expressive control of a classic Yamaha grand in total privacy through headphones. Merging state-of-the-art digital components into world-class pianos, Yamaha’s Silent Piano™ makes this dream a reality. Now, thanks to Yamaha, you can enjoy true acoustic performance, or you can choose to mute acoustic sound and hear your performance in superb digital reproduction—in controlled volumes or through headphones.

Yamaha’s Exclusive Silent Piano Technology
In a grand Silent Piano, the shift of a lever prevents the hammer from hitting the strings, activating digital piano performance. The grand’s Silent Piano system captures every nuance of play with continuous-position optical grayscale sensors for precision reproduction, while a QuickEscape action delivers natural keyboard response. Providing similar capabilities, the center pedal of an upright Silent Piano activates the hammer shank stopper and Silent Piano system. In stunning digital realism, both models generate pure digital tones stereo sampled from the CFIIIS concert grand that are virtually indistinguishable from the original.

A Whole New World of Musical Possibilities
Offering unparalleled flexibility, Yamaha’s Silent Piano opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Students, for example, can practice scales while others in the same room converse or watch TV, eliminating any need for a separate music room. Creative musicians can pursue their vision without restraint at any volume, day or night, and city dwellers never need worry about disturbing nearby neighbors. What’s more, MIDI, AUX, and dual headphone jacks let you connect to external equipment, play at controlled volume levels through external speakers, play along with audio accompaniment through headphones, record performances, enjoy duets in headphone mode, and more.

Integrating the tone, touch, and elegance of a true acoustic piano with the advantage of digital electronics, Yamaha’s Silent Piano expands your musical opportunities without compromising your standards.
