Yamaha P121 SH3 Silent Upright Piano

In acoustic mode this feels and sounds like any other P121 with all the benefits of a digital. The P121, similar in size and calibre to the U1, has been designed in Europe for those who are seeking that type of rich and expressive tone. 

In Silent mode it is a powerful digital piano, using Yamaha's latest binaural CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial samples, 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.

Yamaha have two different types of silent system that they use on their pianos. The SH Silent System is used on all of Yamaha's core and premium ranges of acoustic pianos.

What's the difference between the 'SH2' and the new 'SH3'?
