Yamaha B1 Upright Piano

The Yamaha B1 is Yamaha’s smallest instrument in the entry level B Series of acoustic pianos, built in their Indonesian factory.

This extremely compact instrument would be ideal for even the smallest of spaces due to its diminutive dimensions, and would make an ideal starter piano for new pianists to begin learning to play on.

The Yamaha B1 has a contemporary and angular design which should fit in well in most domestic environments. The piano features a full size keyboard with eighty eight notes, as well as three pedals, one of which is a “practice pedal” which enables muted playing by placing a piece of felt between the hammers and the strings. The piano is solidly built using good quality materials, which gives it a far superior sound when compared to many of the domestic Chinese pianos that are currently being built, making it an excellent value for money piano which is ideal for a new player.

The Yamaha B1 is also available (at additional cost) with a factory fitted Yamaha SG2 silent play system, which can be added to this, or indeed any other Yamaha piano during the initial construction process. This innovative and highly regarded technology enables the use of headphones for noiseless playing, and mutes the strings in favour of high quality digital sampled sounds whilst still using the genuine acoustic action for a realistic playing feel.
