Find Your Bliss with a Yamaha SILENT Piano™

A Yamaha SILENT Piano is, first and foremost, a top-quality acoustic piano with strings, hammers, dampers, and soundboards that create rich and resonant tones that can fill any room with musical warmth. But with the touch of a button, these pianos make it possible to play your acoustic piano privately (with headphones!) anytime you want to, day or night, with no one else hearing you!

Yamaha’s extraordinary SILENT Piano is testimony to their expertise, advanced knowledge, and leadership. Each Silent Piano is crafted by master artisans and technical experts who integrate this state-of-the-art system into a modern acoustic piano.

Here’s how it works:

• When switched to silent mode, a SILENT Piano’s hammers are stopped before hitting the strings, so no sound is heard in the room where you’re playing.
• Simultaneously, touch sensors read your keystroke movements to interpret how hard or softly the key is played.
• The system then translates this data into a digital sound of your choice.
• Thanks to Yamaha’s state-of-the-art technology, you’re treated to the three-dimensional sounds, nuances, and colors of famous acoustic pianos — including the nine-foot CFX grand and a majestic Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand — right in your headphones. These sounds are produced so faithfully that you won’t believe your ears!

The Yamaha Smart Pianist app makes it easy to tailor the piano’s response to your preferences, resulting in a truly personalized playing experience. It’s intuitive, user-friendly, and offers various customization options and learning tools. By connecting the piano to the app via Bluetooth, you can:

• Reproduce the sounds of other instruments through your headphones, including electric piano, organ, choir, strings, and harpsichord, or select from various rhythms to provide automatic accompaniment with drums and bass. Whatever genre of music you’re playing, there’s a voice to compliment your mood.
• Easily control and customize various aspects of your performance — from adjusting the touch sensitivity to modifying the reverb and resonance effect.
• Access a vast collection of sheet music from various genres, including classical, pop, jazz, and more, to follow on your device’s screen (which will even “turn” the pages for you automatically as you play!).
• Record or broadcast your performances for easy sharing and analysis. Pro tip: This feature is especially useful for students receiving feedback from their teachers or for musicians looking to assess their progress and make improvements.

Yamaha offers two versions of its SILENT Piano technology:
