Introducing the Yamaha SH3 & SC3 SILENT Piano
The Yamaha SILENT Piano expertly blends the stunning acoustic piano with upgraded technology, offering a SILENT mode that enables you to play with headphones no matter the time of day.
Allowing for practice day or night without outside disruption, the Yamaha SILENT grand piano or upright piano models are available in the SH3 and SC3 Series. Both offer a wide range of digital voices to choose from, the ability to record your performance or connect to apps on your mobile device to elevate your practice experience. When SILENT mode is activated, the piano’s silent mechanism prevents the hammers from hitting the keys and will use optical sensor technology to capture the movements of the keys and send digital sounds to your headphones. The SH3 & SC3 are both equipped with binaural samplings of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Concert grand pianos which provide an immersive and realistic experience while playing with headphones.
