Features

A versatile format for lasting progress

At 116 cm in height, the B20 TransAcoustic™ TC3 is an excellent compromise between controlled size and acoustic performance. It blends easily into any interior, while offering greater sonic depth and power reserve to accompany the pianist's evolution for many years to come.

Rich, expressive sound

Thanks to its more generous soundboard and longer strings, the B20 develops a full, warm and balanced sound across the entire keyboard. Bass registers gain in depth, while the middle and upper registers retain their clarity and precision. This richness of sound enhances nuances and musical expression.

Improved hammers for purer timbre

The B20 benefits from hammers developed by Yamaha for its prestige instruments. Their design contributes to a stable sound, rich in harmonics and homogeneous across the entire keyboard. Touch control becomes more precise, allowing the pianist to develop his or her musicality more easily.

Solid spruce soundboard

The solid spruce soundboard core promotes natural resonance and excellent sound projection. This material is renowned for its acoustic qualities, enabling the piano to develop a warm, lively timbre while maintaining great stability over time.

Five rear bracings for long-lasting resonance

The five back dams effectively reinforce the piano's structure and help hold the soundboard crown in place. This design ensures excellent tuning stability and consistent resonance quality over the years.

Large music-stand for enhanced playing comfort

The large music stand makes it easy to store several scores or methods. Its format also contributes to a more open playing space, particularly appreciated during long work sessions. The soft-closing lid provides additional security for everyday use.

Integrated TransAcoustic™ TC3 technology

The TransAcoustic™ TC3 system transforms the piano's soundboard into a true sound diffuser. You can adjust the volume to suit your environment while retaining the natural vibrations and acoustic richness typical of a real piano. This unique technology allows you to enjoy an immersive musical experience at any time of day.

Silent mode with headphone practice

For those moments when discretion is required, the silent mode allows you to play on headphones without disturbing those around you. Yamaha's non-contact sensors preserve the full feel of the keyboard, so you can enjoy the natural sensations of a traditional acoustic piano.

Bluetooth audio and musical accompaniment

Thanks to integrated Bluetooth audio connectivity, you can stream your music directly from a smartphone or tablet. Work with playbacks, accompany your favorite tunes or simply enjoy quality music listening through the piano's soundboard.
