THE QUALITY OF A YAMAHA B2

When you purchase a Yamaha B2 piano, you are purchasing a piano of Japanese quality. Although assembly is outsourced to factories in Indonesia, this does not compromise the quality in any way. Yamaha's expertise in acoustic pianos, combined with their many years of experience, makes them a very stable player in the piano world, praised for their pleasant, clear sounds. This is partly achieved through the high-quality components made from the best materials. For example, all keyboards are produced in-house from Sitka spruce wood. This wood is dried for six to 24 months and then further acclimatised in computer-controlled ovens.

This treatment ensures that the keys are hardly affected by changes in temperature and humidity. The piano mechanism is also resistant to these conditions thanks to specially developed technologies for drying and gluing maple. The use of aluminium parts also makes the mechanism very stable. In total, the action consists of 5,500 parts, each of which is developed by Yamaha itself. These actions are developed with incredible accuracy. The precision of the holes drilled in the caps is even achieved with an accuracy of 0.05 millimetres. It is therefore not surprising that a Yamaha B2 plays so smoothly!

An important feature of the B2 piano is that, like the B3, it has a solid spruce soundboard. This spruce wood comes from North America, where the temperatures and altitude are ideal for growing high-quality spruce wood. Once the wood has been grown, it is transported to the Yamaha factory in Kitami, Japan. This factory, which specialises in woodworking processes, then manufactures the high-quality soundboards.

More information about the B series

The Yamaha B2 is the middle model of a trio of pianos. With a height of 113 cm, this piano has a solid soundboard that ensures a warm, powerful sound. The taller the piano cabinet, the longer the strings and the larger the soundboard. This has a positive effect on the sound, but it does need to be tailored to the room in which the piano will be placed. In smaller living rooms, a B2 model is the perfect piano if budget is also an important factor. If you are looking for a piano that is just a little more affordable, then you will end up with the Benjamin of the series: the Yamaha B1. With a height of 109 cm and based entirely on all Yamaha principles, it is also an excellent piano. The Yamaha B3 is the most complete model in the series, with a height of 121 centimetres. This height is average for a piano and perfect for placement in medium to larger living rooms. Every Yamaha B piano has its own charms, but one thing is certain: whichever model you choose, you will be amazed by the quality and performance of these pianos. They will guarantee many years of playing pleasure.

The Yamaha SC3 silent system

The Yamaha SC3 Silent system is the latest generation of electronics that Yamaha uses in its acoustic pianos. Like its predecessor, the system features two world-renowned concert grand pianos, the Yamaha CFX and the Bosendorfer Imperial. Yamaha's flagship model, the CFX, stands out thanks to its wide range of tones, from a crisp treble to a rich bass. The Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand piano is world-renowned for its sonorous, rich “Viennese sound”. In addition to the acoustic piano sounds, the system features 10 other tones, including digital pianos, harpsichords, organs, string orchestra, choir and synth pad. The sensor system has undergone a major upgrade, making the registration of the key touch even more accurate.

A great addition is that the SC3 system now features Bluetooth. This allows you to play music wirelessly through the system via your smartphone or tablet. Another great feature is the wireless connection to the Smart Pianist App, which allows you to control the piano in innovative ways. Sound settings can be easily selected and edited, and features such as recording and a learning method are also available.
