Yamaha B3 TC3 Transacoustic Upright Piano in black
Catalogue No: UYAM-B3TC3-BP
Available to order
Yamaha model B3 in black polyester TC3 Transacoustic System.
The B3 is the largest model in Yamaha’s entry-level range but shares its frame with the ubiquitous U1. The longer strings and larger soundboard of the B3 produce a greater depth and flexibility than the smaller B-series pianos.
Special Yamaha promotion available on all B Series pianos, please call on 0161 519 1996 for more details!
An instrument which exhibits the most advanced Yamaha digital and timbre-balancing technology.
You can control the volume, mute, or play the numerous built-in sampled sounds out loud. This is achieved through transducers attached to the soundboard, it converts digital sound information into vibrations and delivers them to the soundboard. This in turn vibrates and joins the resonance of the strings to turn the entire piano into a resonator.
You may also use the piano as a speaker and enjoy listening to preset songs, recordings of your own performances and even music from your smartphone or other devices via Bluetooth. You can also play along with songs streamed from your devices, adding the piano part for ensemble performances. Both the external music and the sound of the piano pass through the soundboard and body of the piano, combining to create a rich resonance.
Yamaha have two different types of TransAcoustic systems that they use on their pianos. The TC Silent System is used on all of Yamaha's core and premium ranges of acoustic pianos.
In Silent mode it is a powerful digital piano, using Yamaha's latest binaural CFX sample, with all the benefits of having a real piano action at your finger tips.
The most common question regarding the silent piano is "is this a digital piano?".
Our range of silent pianos are all completely acoustic instruments; meaning that hammers are still striking strings to produce a sound and therefore have the benefit of playing a real acoustic piano, however they also have a digital component that simply allow players the option to switch to a digital sound for "silent playing" via headphones.
Silent System features:
- Binarual sampling of full size concert grand piano by Yamaha model CFX allows for a more three-dimentional experience
- Different types of piano effects to emulate a real acoustic piano such as string resonance, sustain, damper resonance and
- 19 sampled sounds which include - Piano, Electric piano 1 and 2, Harpsichord, Vibraphone, Celesta, Pipe Organ, Jazz Organ, Strings and Choir
- 50 Demo songs
- Built-in recording and playback functions

All Yamaha pianos are available in different wood finishes, have the option for chrome or brass fittings and also the option to have the silent system. Please enquire in store for more details.
