Features

Compact size for the home

With its 110 cm height, the B10 SC3 easily fits into any domestic space. You can enjoy a real acoustic piano without sacrificing an entire room. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for apartments, living rooms and workrooms where every square meter counts.

Clear, balanced sound

The B10 SC3 delivers a precise, warm and even sound across the entire keyboard. This sound signature makes it easier to learn nuances and develop finer listening skills. Whether you're working on your daily exercises or your first classical pieces, the sound remains pleasant and inspiring.

Improved hammers for greater expressiveness

Inspired by Yamaha know-how developed on its top-of-the-range models, the B10 SC3's hammers help produce a more stable, purer timbre. You benefit from a better response under the fingers, which facilitates playing control and musical expression from the very first years of practice.

Solid spruce soundboard

The solid spruce core promotes natural, musical resonance. This design enables the piano to develop a superior harmonic richness and maintain a beautiful sound projection despite its compact size. The result is a lively instrument that's a pleasure to play every day.

Reinforced structure for enhanced stability

The five rear bracings effectively support the soundboard in the face of high string tension. This construction contributes to tuning stability, resonance quality and overall longevity over the years.

Everyday comfort and safety

The wide music stand provides comfortable space for scores and learning methods. The soft-closing lid limits the risk of pinching and provides added safety, especially in a home environment with children.

SILENT Piano™ SC3: play at any time without compromise

The Yamaha SILENT Piano™ SC3 system lets you fully enjoy the sensations of a real acoustic piano while playing through headphones. With a simple gesture, the hammers are prevented from hitting the strings and the sound is digitally reproduced in your headphones with remarkable realism. So you can work on your instrument at any time of the day or night without disturbing those around you.

Thanks to its non-contact electromagnetic induction sensors, the SC3 system accurately detects key movements without altering the piano's natural touch. You'll experience exactly the same sensations as in acoustic mode, with all the fine control you need to develop your technique and expressiveness.

Yamaha's binaural sampling technology recreates in the headphones the impression of sitting in front of a real concert piano. Combined with Grand Expression Modeling, it realistically reproduces nuances, resonances and timbre variations for an immersive and inspiring playing experience.
