Discover the New Yamaha B Series
The Yamaha B Series has long been one of the most popular upright piano ranges for families, schools, and home pianists - and the latest generation feels more refined than ever.
At Bonners Piano Centres, we’ve already seen how much Yamaha has improved these new models. The redesigned B Series introduces upgraded hammer design, stronger cabinet construction, improved soundboards, and a more refined overall playing experience across the range.
Whether you’re buying your very first acoustic piano or looking for a more serious upright to grow into long term, the Yamaha B Series offers a fantastic balance between:
- musical quality
- reliability
- modern practicality
- long-term value
And importantly, each model still retains the clear, consistent Yamaha character that so many pianists and teachers trust.
What’s New in the Reimagined Yamaha B Series?
The latest Yamaha B Series introduces several meaningful upgrades designed to improve tone, stability, and overall playing feel.
New Hammer Design Inspired by Yamaha’s CFX Concert Grand
Yamaha has redesigned the hammer construction across the range using technology influenced by its flagship Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano.
This helps the new B Series deliver:
- clearer tonal definition
- smoother dynamic transitions
- improved sustain
- greater expressive control
The result is a more mature and musical sound, even in the smaller models.
Improved Cabinet Construction and Five-Back-Post Design
The cabinet structure has also been redesigned for greater rigidity and resonance.
All models now feature reinforced five-back-post construction, helping improve:
- tuning stability
- tonal consistency
- structural strength
- resonance transfer
In real-world playing, the pianos feel more solid, stable, and refined than previous generations.
Solid Spruce Core Soundboards
Each model features a solid spruce core soundboard designed to improve:
- resonance
- tonal warmth
- projection
- long-term durability
Yamaha has also improved resistance to temperature and humidity changes, helping the pianos perform more consistently in home environments.
Which Yamaha B Series Piano Is Right for You?
Yamaha B10 - Compact and Ideal for Beginners
The Yamaha B10 Upright Piano is the most compact model in the range and a brilliant choice for:
- beginners
- younger students
- smaller homes
- players moving from a digital piano
It offers a clear, balanced tone and compact footprint while still delivering the feel and resonance of a genuine Yamaha acoustic piano.
Yamaha B20 - The Sweet Spot for Many Players
The Yamaha B20 Upright Piano sits comfortably in the middle of the range and is often the model we recommend most frequently at Bonners.
With its taller cabinet, larger soundboard, and upgraded underfelt hammers, the B20 offers:
- greater tonal warmth
- stronger bass response
- improved sustain
- more expressive dynamics
For many families and progressing pianists, it strikes an excellent balance between size, performance, and price.
Yamaha B30 - The Most Powerful Model in the Range
The Yamaha B30 Upright Piano is the flagship model in the Yamaha B Series.
With its taller cabinet and larger soundboard, the B30 produces:
- deeper bass
- broader projection
- richer harmonic depth
- greater dynamic range
It’s an excellent option for serious students, advanced pianists, and players wanting a more substantial acoustic piano experience at home.
Silent and TransAcoustic Options Available
Many Yamaha B Series models are also available with Yamaha’s innovative SC3 Silent and TC3 TransAcoustic systems.
SC3 Silent System
The SC3 Silent system allows you to:
- practise privately with headphones
- play at any time of day
- access digital piano sounds and features
When Silent Mode is activated, the hammers are prevented from reaching the strings and advanced digital sampling technology takes over, allowing private practice without disturbing others.
Perfect for family homes, apartments, and busy lifestyles.
TC3 TransAcoustic System
The TC3 TransAcoustic system combines the experience of a real acoustic piano with built-in digital flexibility.
Unlike a standard silent piano, the TransAcoustic system also uses the piano’s own soundboard to naturally amplify digital sounds - creating a far more immersive and natural playing experience.
You can:
- control volume levels
- practise with headphones
- access additional instrument sounds
- enjoy acoustic and digital playing in one instrument
For many players, it offers the best of both worlds.
Finish Options
The Yamaha B Series is available in a range of elegant cabinet finishes designed to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Available finishes include:
- Polished Black with Brass fittings
- Polished Black with Chrome fittings
- Polished White with Brass fittings
- Polished White with Chrome fittings
Availability can vary between models, so please contact us for current showroom and stock information.
