SILENT FEATURES


 

Yamaha Piano Logo on acoustic piano soundboard

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.

Acoustic piano soundboard with hammers

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.

Key sensor system detail

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.

Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos

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.

iPad app with Yamaha Smart Pianist App

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.

Silent Piano System

U1 Upright Acoustic Piano

Precise, ultra-responsive touch, clear, full-bodied tone and a reputation for reliability have made U Series pianos the choice of professional musicians, conservatories, teachers, students and music lovers, the world over. Add to that a legendary attention to every detail of every piano, and it’s no surprise that the U Series has been the world’s most popular upright for over half a century.

FEATURES


 

Wood selection process in Kitami Mill

The finest woods

The U Series soundboards and ribs are crafted from solid spruce that has been hand selected at the Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan giving these pianos a richer, more resonant voice and evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.

Back soundboard detail

Back posts, forward thinking

Years of cutting-edge research, including a proprietary wood-drying process, result in back posts that maintain their shape, strength and resonance for years to come.

Advanced V-Pro Frame

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. Every U Series piano features a full-perimeter frame built to exacting specifications at the Iwata Forge in Japan.

Close Detail of hammer felts

Specially designed hammers

U Series hammers are crafted of the finest materials and painstakingly designed for each model to provide optimum tone, response and a lifetime of musical enjoyment.

Close Detail of string winding process

Specially crafted bass strings

Yamaha artisans in in Kakegawa, Japan oversee the winding of pure copper and adjust the balance and tension of each bass string to the exacting standards and sound profile of every U Series piano.

The world's first aluminum action rail

The world's first aluminum action rail

Often copied but never equaled, the patented Yamaha aluminum action rail helps assure these piano keyboards are resistant to tiny fluctuations in humidity and temperature over time.

Soft-Close Fallboard

Soft-Close Fallboard
