The Technology Behind the Silent Piano

Yamaha’s Patented Gray Scale Sensor

This in house Patented technology delivers unrivaled accuracy and performance with out ever changing the feel of a traditional acoustic piano.

Binaural Sampling

When Playing the Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano with headphones the piano player is hearing a Binaural Sample. Which is an exacting sampling technique that mimics the interaural characteristics of the human ear, This unique approach allows SILENT pianos to recreate the natural, all encompassing sound only experienced when seated in front of a concert grand piano.

Patented Quick Escape System

This system allows optimal separation to be obtained between the hammers and strings by adjusting the distance between the hammers and strings, ensuring that the feel of the keyboard stays in the best possible condition whether playing acoustically or with the sound muted.

Hammer Sensors
