The Yamaha NEW B Series represents the next evolution of one of the world’s most popular upright piano ranges. Designed with input from players, teachers, technicians and piano dealers, these updated models refine everything that matters in real-world use – from tone and touch to usability and long-term reliability.

Whether you are choosing your first acoustic piano, returning to playing, or equipping a teaching space, the B Series offers a clear, balanced sound and a responsive feel that supports steady progress. Improvements to cabinet structure and soundboard design help deliver greater resonance while maintaining Yamaha’s trusted consistency.

Yamaha B10: Compact, clear and accessible

The Yamaha B10 is the most compact model in the range, standing at 110cm tall. It is designed to fit comfortably into smaller spaces while still delivering a clear, focused acoustic tone.

Ideal for beginners, returning players and everyday home use, the B10 provides a balanced and responsive playing experience. It offers a dependable introduction to acoustic piano playing, with the stability and quality expected from Yamaha.

Yamaha B20: Greater depth and projection

The Yamaha B20 steps up to a 116cm cabinet, allowing for a larger soundboard and longer bass strings. This results in a richer, more resonant sound with increased tonal depth and projection.

It is particularly well suited to progressing players and teaching environments, where a broader dynamic range and more immersive sound can support developing technique and expression.

Yamaha B30: Maximum performance and presence

The Yamaha B30 is the largest model in the NEW B Series, with a 121cm cabinet designed to deliver the most powerful and expressive sound in the range.

With greater projection, stronger bass and increased sustain, the B30 is ideal for more advanced players, larger rooms and more demanding repertoire, offering a confident and well-rounded acoustic performance.

Silent and TransAcoustic options

All NEW B Series models are available with Yamaha’s SILENT Piano™ and TransAcoustic™ technologies. The B10 Silent SC3, B20 Silent SC3 and B30 Silent SC3 allow for private practice through headphones without disturbing others.

TransAcoustic models such as the B10 TransAcoustic TC3 and B20 TransAcoustic TC3 allow you to control volume while preserving the natural resonance of the soundboard, with added Bluetooth connectivity for playback and practice.

Built for long-term performance

Yamaha oversees every stage of production, from material selection to final assembly, ensuring consistent quality across the range. Solid spruce soundboards, precision-engineered actions and durable cabinet construction all contribute to long-term reliability and a consistently rewarding playing experience.

The original b series upright pianos

Designed as a combination of superb value for money and outstanding quality, derived from over a century of piano manufacturing expertise, Yamaha b Series are a perfect entry point to buying your first acoustic upright piano. A concise range of three different sized uprights from the 109cm modern style b1 to the 121cm tall traditional style b3, there is a b Series piano to suit every space and budget. Each model is available with Silent Technology - allowing you to play silently, using headphones, any time of day or night.

Yamaha b1 upright piano

Carefully designed to maximise the tonal quality and response from a small frame, b1 is a perfect choice for a smaller room and equally ideal for a beginner. Delivering the renowned Yamaha sound at an affordable price, the chic and slender b1 is also a great addition to a modern interior. It is worth comparing the b1 against the slightly larger but similarly styled Kawai K-15.

Key features:

• 109cm tall
• Modern style cabinet
• 3-ply, laminated spruce soundboard
• 88 keys & 3 pedals including celeste for quiet practice
• Available in polished ebony, polished ebony with chrome fittings, polished white, polished mahogany and polished walnut

Yamaha b2 upright piano

A more refined instrument than the compact b1 and slightly taller at 113cm, the b2 benefits from an elegant, traditional style cabinet design with castors and front pedestal legs, along with a solid spruce soundboard for enhanced tonal quality. A popular choice of family piano, comparable with the Kawai K-200, and perfectly suited to both the beginner and more advanced pianist.

Key features:

• 113cm tall
• Traditional style cabinet
• Solid spruce soundboard
• Castors
• 88 keys & 3 pedals including celeste for quiet practice
• Available in polished ebony, polished ebony with chrome fittings, polished white, polished mahogany and polished walnut

Yamaha b3 upright piano

The top of the range b Series model, the b3 also benefits from a solid spruce soundboard, and shares many components with the professional level U Series models. Larger than the b1 and b2 at 121cm tall, the longer strings and more expansive soundboard of the b3 afford it a more powerful and expressive tone, with a more controlled and responsive action. An excellent choice for the home or school practice room and incredibly good value, the b3 makes for an interesting comparison with the Kawai K-300.

Key features:

• 121cm tall
• Traditional style cabinet
• Solid spruce soundboard
• Castors
• Bespoke hammers shared with the Japanese-made Yamaha U1
• 88 keys & 3 pedals including celeste for quiet practice
• Available in polished ebony, polished ebony with chrome fittings, polished white, polished mahogany and polished walnut

High quality without compromise

Developed in Japan and manufactured at Yamaha’s own factory in Indonesia to reduce production costs, a b Series instrument is the most affordable option for a new Yamaha upright piano. While manufactured outside of Japan, no compromise has been made on component or material quality. Each b Series model benefits from four solid wooden back posts and a vacuum-cast iron frame, and high quality, specially designed hammers and a refined, proven action design deliver a quality of touch and tone that will satisfy even the most demanding of pianists. As a sign of Yamaha’s enduring commitment to quality and durability, every new Yamaha upright piano is supplied with a 10-year warranty* for your peace of mind.
