Yamaha SILENT Series P22 SC3 Studio Upright Piano with SC3 Silent System - 45" Satin American Walnut Finish

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 finest woods

P 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 posts, forward thinking

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

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 for our pianos. Every P Series frame is built to exacting specifications at the Iwata Forge in Japan.

One-of-a-kind hammers

P 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.

Hand-wound bass strings

Yamaha artisans oversee the winding of pure copper and adjust the balance and tension of each bass string to the exacting durability standards and sound profile of every P series piano.
