Discover the New Yamaha B Series Upright Pianos for 2026

The new 2026 generation of Yamaha B Series Upright Pianos has arrived, bringing refined design, enhanced tonal performance, and premium Yamaha craftsmanship to players of every level. Whether you’re a beginner searching for your first upright piano or an experienced pianist looking for rich acoustic tone with modern features, the redesigned Yamaha B Series offers exceptional value and performance.

A Reimagined Yamaha Upright Piano Range

The latest Yamaha B Series includes three models:

• Yamaha B10 Upright Piano – Compact and space saving
• Yamaha B20 Upright Piano – Balanced performance and value
• Yamaha B30 Upright Piano – Full-size upright with powerful tone

Each model is available as:

• Traditional Acoustic Piano
• SILENT Piano™ (SC3)
• TransAcoustic™ Piano (TC3)

This gives players the freedom to enjoy authentic acoustic piano performance, silent headphone practice, or advanced digital functionality within one instrument.

Improved Tone and Resonance

One of the biggest upgrades across the new Yamaha B Series is the improved tonal character. Yamaha has redesigned the hammer felt process using technology inspired by the world-renowned Yamaha CFX concert grand piano, resulting in a clearer, more resonant, and more expressive sound.

The B20 and B30 models also feature underfelt hammers, providing additional warmth, depth, and tonal richness — ideal for advancing and more experienced pianist

All models now include:

• Solid spruce core soundboards
• Enhanced back structure with 5 back posts
• Longer bass strings on selected models
• Improved resonance and sustain

Together, these upgrades create a richer and more dynamic playing experience.

Designed for Modern Pianists

The new Yamaha B Series isn’t just about sound — it has also been redesigned with practicality and elegance in mind.

Full-Width Music Desk

A newly designed full-width music desk offers more space for sheet music, tablets, and accessories, making it perfect for modern practice setups and apps like Yamaha Smart Pianist.

Soft-Close Fallboard

Every model now includes a soft-close keyboard lid, helping protect both the piano and the player’s hands while adding a premium feel to the cabinet design.

Refined Cabinet Styling

Updated cabinet details, including redesigned legs, side arms, and top panels, give the B Series a more elegant and contemporary appearance.

Yamaha SILENT Piano™ Technology

The SC3 SILENT Piano™ versions allow players to practise privately using headphones without sacrificing authentic acoustic piano touch and response. When SILENT Mode is activated, the hammers stop before striking the strings while sensors capture every movement of the keys and reproduce premium digital piano sounds through headphones.

This makes the Yamaha B Series ideal for:

• Family homes
• Apartments
• Late-night practice
• Shared living spaces

Yamaha TransAcoustic™ Technology

The TC3 TransAcoustic™ models combine acoustic piano performance with immersive digital sound projection. Unlike traditional digital pianos, Yamaha’s TransAcoustic system uses the piano’s soundboard itself to resonate and amplify digital sounds naturally throughout the instrument.

Players can:

• Adjust volume levels
• Play silently with headphones
• Enjoy rich digital piano voices
• Experience natural acoustic resonance without external speakers

It’s an innovative hybrid approach that keeps the authentic feel of a real acoustic upright piano.
