B1SC2PE Yamaha Polished Ebony Silent Acoustic Upright Piano
Undercutting lesser competitors whilst retaining Yamaha's high standards, the b1 offers the joy of Yamaha ownership at a price that will astonish and delight. This is a B1SC2PE Silent piano‚ featuring a CFX & Bösendorfer sound source, allowing you to continue that enjoyment after everyone has gone to bed or the neighbours are home.
Why Choose a Silent Piano?
There will be times at home when the deep resonant sound of an acoustic piano is not always appreciated. You might find you are disturbing a neighbour or family member or just simply worried about being listened to as you practice a new piece of music. This is where a silent piano is the perfect instrument to choose.
Firstly you have the beautiful sound and touch of a real acoustic piano to enjoy when you can. Then simply plug in a set of headphones and switch to silent mode and you can keep on playing, listening to a beautiful top of the range digital piano sample. As a result, early mornings, late nights or family watching TV all become a thing of the past with the ability to practice in silence. This is without doubt the best of both worlds.
Here is how it all works
Key sensors
Under each of the 88 keys is a Yamaha-unique continuous-detection grey-scale shutter key sensor. These sensors detect the movement of the keys continually, allowing natural musical expression even when the piano is in "Silent" mode. They don't affect the feel of the keyboard in any way as they don't come into contact with the keys.
Two World-Renowned Piano Sounds
You can play SILENT Piano‚ SC2 type with the voices of CFX, Yamaha‚'s finest concert grand piano, and Bösendorfer's legendary Imperial. All 88 keys are sampled individually. Yamaha's flagship grand piano, the majestic CFX boasts a wide palette of tonal colors, from sparkling high notes to powerful bass tones. The legendary Bösendorfer, meanwhile, is renowned for its sonorous and rich Viennese sound.
10 various voices
SILENT Piano SC2 type offers total 10 pre-installed sounds such as electric pianos, harpsichord, organs, strings, choir, and synth pad, allowing you to select the ideal voice to match your preferred musical genre.
Headphones

Built-in recording and play back functions
SILENT Piano SC2 type can record one song in the internal memory. Additionally, connecting commercially available USB memory to the unit allows you save recording data, and play back songs.
