SILENT Piano™ are authentic acoustic pianos enhanced with Yamaha’s leading-edge silencing technology. When the keys are pressed in SILENT Mode, the hammers are stopped just before they hit the strings, preventing the piano itself from making any sound.
Special sensors electo-magentic installed beneath the keys interpret the way the keys are pressed and pass the data to a digital tone generator that produces sampled sounds that can be heard through headphones.
SILENT Piano™ makes it possible for players to enjoy the full acoustic piano experience, or to put on headphones and play in SILENT Mode for a truly self immersive experience.
Every Silent Piano & Trans Acoustic is first and foremost an acoustic piano. The Hybrid systems does not alter the touch or feel of the Piano.
Play the Silent or TransAcoustic Piano with Headphones for a private performance. You can even connect them to a speaker or PA System!
The Yamaha SC3, TC3, SH3 and TA3 connect wirelessly to your iPad via Bluetooth Midi! Connect your piano to your computer, phone tablet and more!
