The compact b series represents a distillation of Yamaha’s entire upright piano design philosophy—delivering high-quality sound and natural resonance, along with superb durability. Experience the profound joy in owning a fine acoustic instrument, and let the b series pianos bring you into a new lifestyle, full of musical intimacy.

Yamaha designs and manufactures its soundboards, frames, keyboard actions, and other piano parts with unwavering reliability and under the strictest quality control. All parts are assembled by skilled craftsmen to create a thoroughly balanced piano that combines Yamaha's uniquely pure sound quality with excellent performance. The result is a high level of expressiveness that responds faithfully even to those who are just playing the piano for the first time.

The b series was designed with an emphasis on compactness in every aspect—height, width and depth. The b2 has been constructed with special care and detailed attention to each, and the compact size (a height of 113 cm for the b2) makes it ideal for limited spaces.

Produced at a Yamaha factory in Indonesia from a scale design developed in Japan, b Series pianos are Yamaha’s most affordable entry-level uprights. Although reduced production costs allow budget-friendly prices, Yamaha makes no compromises in the materials and workmanship that go into these exceptional uprights.

Supported by four sturdy wooden back posts and a strong cast iron frame, b Series pianos are endowed with Yamaha’s renowned pure, clear tone. High-grade hammers and a proven action design offer effortless playing and a highly responsive keyboard ‘touch’ that make these uprights ideal for beginning players.

This piano features the unique Yamaha SILENT Piano™ technology, which lets you plug in a set of headphones and fully immerse yourself in the sound as you play. This remarkable acoustic piano can be played silently while letting you adjust the volume, retaining the rich and complex sound that’s unique to an acoustic instrument. Switch to Quiet mode and the hammers are stopped just before hitting the strings, while keystroke movements are read by optical sensors. These trigger the internal tone generator which reproduces a digitally sampled piano sound in your headphones. The result is an exceptionally natural acoustic piano sound that you can enjoy playing at any time, without worrying about your surroundings.

With its larger dimensions and heavier construction, the new b2 delivers a superior sound through added depth and volume. For the ambitious performer on a budget, there is no better instrument. Silencing system has been added to this b2. This is an SC3 type SILENT Piano™.
