Features

121 cm height for maximum expression

Thanks to its generous dimensions, the B30 SC3 develops a full, deep sound. Its larger soundboard and longer strings promote better sound projection, more sustain and a wider range of nuances. This design allows the pianist to work on his or her interpretation with a higher level of precision and control.

Rich, powerful, nuanced sound

The B30 SC3 delivers a balanced sound across the entire keyboard, with deep basses, warm mids and precise highs. Its harmonic richness allows you to approach all musical styles with comfort and musicality. Whether for study, leisure or advanced practice, it offers an inspiring and expressive sound response.

Improved hammers for greater expressiveness

The hammers of the B30 SC3 benefit from a special felt treatment inspired by Yamaha know-how developed for its concert pianos. The result is a purer, more stable timbre, richer in harmonics. The result is greater nuance control and playing precision.

Solid spruce soundboard

The soundboard is built around a solid spruce core, a material renowned for its excellent acoustic qualities. It promotes natural resonance, depth of sound and a balanced harmonic response across the entire keyboard. This design also contributes to the instrument's stability and longevity.

Reinforced structure for lasting stability

The five rear bracings hold the soundboard crown in place despite the high tension exerted by the strings. This construction contributes to resonance quality, tuning stability and the preservation of the piano's acoustic performance over time.

Playing comfort and everyday practicality

The large music stand can easily accommodate several scores or books. Its generous space enhances reading comfort and facilitates work on complex works. The soft-closing lid enhances user safety and provides a particularly neat finish.

SILENT Piano™ SC3: all the freedom of headphone playing

The Yamaha SILENT Piano™ SC3 system lets you enjoy the full feel of a real acoustic piano while playing through headphones. When SILENT mode is activated, the hammers are stopped before reaching the strings, and the sound is digitally reproduced with remarkable realism. So you can practice at any time of day without disturbing those around you.

Non-contact electromagnetic induction sensors accurately detect key movements without altering the piano's natural touch. You'll experience exactly the same playing sensations as in acoustic mode, with all the finesse you need to work on your technique and musicality.

Thanks to Yamaha binaural sampling and Grand Expression Modeling, the sound reproduced through headphones retains all its richness, depth and nuance. This immersive technology recreates the sensation of sitting in front of a real concert piano, making for a particularly enjoyable experience.
