SILENT FEATURES
Born to be silent
Each Yamaha SILENT Piano is conceived, designed and built from the ground up, fashioned by Yamaha master craftsmen in the same factory using the same time-honored, traditional methods as acoustic pianos.
Pure, natural sound
Three proprietary technologies work together to emulate the natural feeling and sound of an acoustic piano in your headphones. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the strings, soundboard and case. An advanced binaural sampling method simulates the sound you hear when sitting at the piano. Smooth Release Technology models the subtle interactions of the piano strings with the damper.
Every nuance, every note
An advanced non-contact Articulation Sensor System continuously measures the movement, timing, depth and force of every key attack and release to faithfully capture and reproduce the subtle nuances of your performance.
Multiple piano voice options
The world-renowned Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands are two of many digital voices available in your headphones including electric pianos, harpsichords, organs, strings, choir and synth pad.
Connects with your smart devices
Choose voices, record your performances, display a score and more. The Yamaha Smart Pianist App works intuitively with your smartphone or tablet.
Plays well with others
It’s easy to connect SILENT Piano with your audio and MIDI devices for recording, live sound or broadcast and it works seamlessly with computers, mixing boards and Bluetooth®-enabled devices.
The beautiful GC Series combines the duplex scaling and rich tonal character of the coveted C Series grand with cost-saving advantages in materials and production to create an instrument that's both exceptionally expressive and uncommonly affordable.

FEATURES
Room-filling sound
The GB1K and GC Series pianos may be small, but they have a powerful resonance and tone that brings out the subtle nuances of every note.
Rich, resonant woods
Great pianos start with the finest wood. Soundboards and ribs are crafted by Yamaha artisans using hand-selected spruce from the Kitami Wood Mill in Hokkaido, Japan.
Back posts, forward thinking
These pianos share the robust back post design of conservatory series pianos, giving them the powerful resonance, durability and tuning stability you might expect in a larger grand piano.
Hand-wound Yamaha bass strings
Bass strings are crafted and hand wound under the watchful eye of Yamaha artisans exclusively for each piano.
Advanced V-Pro frame
Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced Vacuum Shield Mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame worthy of the grandest grand piano. Every frame is built to exacting specifications at the Iwata Forge in Japan.
A hammer like no other
A unique hammer felt, crafted in Japan, has been designed to bring out the subtle tones of the instrument, and is tested to withstand fluctuations in temperature and humidity and continue playing beautifully for years to come.
