Yamaha Silent Pianos

silent pianos logo

A piano that fits your lifestyle and evolves with you as you progress. Maintaining the essence of the acoustic piano, with newly enhanced muting features and a wonderfully rich sound. With a SILENT Piano™, you can play whenever you want to.

SILENT pianos are genuine acoustic pianos equipped with Yamaha’s advanced silencing technology. When the keys are played in SILENT Mode, the hammers are stopped immediately before striking the strings so that the piano itself generates no sound. Sensors installed below the keys decipher how the keys are played and relay the data to the digital tone generator, which generates sampled sounds that can be heard through a pair of headphones. By allowing players to play a true acoustic piano sound under normal circumstances, or to put on headphones and play in SILENT Mode to avoid disturbing others, SILENT Piano™ makes any time a good time to sit down at the piano.

Simply play your acoustic piano.
