The Yamaha SILENT piano is a feature that is fully integrated into an acoustic piano. By shifting the middle pedal, a mechanism called the “hammer shank stopper” is moved into place, stopping the hammer a few millimetres short of striking the string, thus muting the acoustic sound of the piano. The player can now hear themselves playing through headphones in superb digital reproduction. The skillfully designed sensor system captures and reproduces the subtlest of dynamics with stunning realism, all without affecting the acoustic touch of the piano in any way, granting you the convenience of a digital piano without sacrificing the authentic touch of a real acoustic.

Play and compose in any genre by exploring the 25 sounds available in the SILENT piano, including electric pianos, harpsichord, organ and strings.

Perhaps the best performing and most versatile 121cm upright piano in the world, the YUS1 takes the fundamentals of design found in the ever popular U1 model and elevates them to a new level of performance capability.

In the Kakagawa factory in Japan, YUS series pianos are tuned, regulated and voiced approximately four times as much as the standard U series, ensuring each piano leaves the factory possessing the precise tonal qualities sought after by the Yamaha technicians.

As well as their dynamic sound, what truly separates the YUS series from its competition is the responsiveness and smoothness of the action (made entirely of natural components) gifting the player complete control over the instrument.
