Yamaha B20 TC3 TransAcoustic Upright Piano; Polished White & Chrome Fittings
A Yamaha Upright Piano with More Warmth, Depth and Long-Term Potential
The Yamaha B20 Upright Piano sits in a really appealing middle ground within Yamaha’s redesigned B Series range.
It’s still compact enough to work comfortably in most homes, but offers noticeably more depth, warmth, and musical character than smaller entry-level uprights. For many players, the B20 feels like the point where the B Series starts to become a more serious long-term instrument rather than simply a “first piano”.
At Bonners Piano Centres, we often recommend the B20 to families and progressing pianists who want a piano they can genuinely grow into over many years of playing.
TC3 TransAcoustic
The TC3 TransAcoustic system combines the rich feel of an acoustic piano with built-in digital flexibility. Unlike conventional digital systems that rely on external speakers, Yamaha’s TransAcoustic technology 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 silently with headphones, and access additional instrument voices while still enjoying the resonance of a genuine acoustic piano.
If you’re unsure whether a standard acoustic, SILENT, or TransAcoustic model is right for you, our piano specialists are always happy to guide you through the differences.
A More Refined Sound Than Smaller Uprights
One of the first things most players notice on the B20 is the extra richness and fullness in the tone compared to more compact models.
That comes from several important design upgrades, including:
- a taller 116cm cabinet
- longer bass strings
- a larger soundboard area
- upgraded underfelt hammers
Together, these changes allow the B20 to produce a broader, warmer sound with greater sustain and a more expressive dynamic range.
For classical music in particular, the extra tonal depth is immediately noticeable.
New Hammer Design Inspired by Yamaha’s CFX Concert Grand
Yamaha has redesigned the hammer construction across the new B Series using technology influenced by its flagship Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano.
The B20 also benefits from underfelt hammers, which add an additional layer of felt beneath the hammer surface. In real-world playing, this helps create:
- a warmer tone
- smoother tonal transitions
- greater control at softer dynamics
- more tonal colour across the keyboard
Rather than sounding bright or overly sharp, the B20 has a more rounded and mature character that many players prefer as they progress.
Improved Cabinet Design and Structural Stability
The cabinet itself has also been redesigned to feel more acoustically solid and structurally stable.
Yamaha has strengthened the internal framework and introduced a five-back-post design, helping the piano maintain:
- tuning stability
- tonal consistency
- stronger resonance transfer
Back posts are a crucial part of an upright piano’s structure because they support the enormous tension created by the strings. The improved reinforcement in the B20 helps the piano feel more stable and controlled, even during more powerful playing.
Solid Spruce Core Soundboard
At the heart of the B20 is a solid spruce core soundboard designed to improve resonance and tonal projection.
Spruce is highly valued in piano building because it responds efficiently to vibration, helping create a more open and resonant sound.
Compared to previous entry-level Yamaha uprights, the redesigned soundboard construction gives the B20:
- greater tonal warmth
- improved sustain
- better projection into the room
- enhanced long-term durability
Yamaha has also improved resistance to changes in temperature and humidity, helping maintain more consistent performance in home environments.
Designed for Modern Homes
Although the B20 delivers a more substantial sound, it still works beautifully in most domestic spaces.
Practical upgrades include:
- a wider music desk for books and tablets
- soft-close fallboard
- refined cabinet styling
- improved castor design
These details may seem small, but they make the piano feel noticeably more premium in day-to-day use.
Our Honest View at Bonners
The B20 is probably the “sweet spot” in the new Yamaha B Series for many customers.
It offers a clear musical step up from smaller entry-level uprights, but without moving into the significantly larger size and cost of higher professional models.
For players who know they’re likely to stay committed to piano long-term, the B20 makes a huge amount of sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Yamaha B20 suitable for beginners?
Yes - although the B20 is more musically capable than many beginner uprights, it’s still very approachable for new players. Many families choose it as a longer-term investment piano.
What’s the difference between the Yamaha B10 and B20?
The B20 has a taller cabinet, longer strings, larger soundboard, and upgraded underfelt hammers. This gives it a fuller tone, stronger bass response, and greater dynamic range.
Does the Yamaha B20 have a warmer sound than the B10?
Yes. The upgraded hammer design and larger cabinet give the B20 a noticeably richer and warmer character, especially in the middle and lower registers.
Is the Yamaha B20 good for intermediate and advanced grades?
Absolutely. The B20 is capable of supporting progressing students well beyond beginner level and offers enough tonal control for more advanced repertoire.
Can I try the Yamaha B20 in store?
Yes. You can experience the Yamaha B Series at Bonners Piano Centres showrooms, where our piano specialists can help you compare the differences between models. We’d always recommend giving us a call first so we can advise which showroom is best to visit to see specific models.

We offer a variety of flexible delivery options tailored to your location and the type of instrument you purchase. We aim to dispatch most in-stock standard-sized packages within 1 working day of receiving payment. Please note that we currently ship to the UK mainland only.
Pre-Orders and Out of Stock Items
If you order a product that is out of stock, we will contact you to confirm the lead time once we receive your order. You can also call or email us in advance of placing your order to check the current lead time for specific products and pay a small deposit to secure your place in the queue. This is especially convenient for popular or new products when demand is high.
Standard Size Packages
For standard-size packages, we use a range of third-party courier services to deliver goods as efficiently as possible. All items require someone to be present to receive the goods and provide proof of delivery. This is especially important for high-value items.
If you are not home, the courier may leave your parcel in a secure location and provide photographic proof, though this is at the courier's discretion and often not possible for high-value goods. If a delivery cannot be completed, our partners will make up to two attempts before returning the goods to our warehouse. Please be aware that a fee applies for any necessary re-delivery.
For larger items or those requiring delivery to locations such as the Scottish Highlands, offshore islands, or parts of Wales and Northern England, surcharges and longer delivery times of up to 10 days may apply.
Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking number and the name of the courier used. You can track your parcel directly through our partner websites:
- FedEx: Track your FedEx shipment here
- DX Express: Track your DX Express shipment here
Digital Piano & Large Item Delivery
As a specialist piano retailer, we provide two distinct tiers of service for digital piano deliveries to the UK mainland. Larger items that require specialist courier delivery are an exception to our standard despatch times; we will contact you personally to arrange these deliveries. This ensures you know exactly when your item is arriving and can be prepared to have help on hand if required to move and unpack your goods.
- Economy Delivery: Our fastest service for digital pianos. Your instrument is delivered flat-packed in a box to your doorstep between 8am and 6pm. Because these boxes can weigh between 60kg and 120kg, you will need to have someone available to help you move the instrument into your home and sign for the delivery.
- Premium Delivery & Setup: This premium service includes professional assembly by our experienced team. We will build your piano in your home, set up any purchased stools, and take away all packaging for recycling. We will coordinate a convenient delivery date and a two-hour time slot with you.
Acoustic Piano Deliveries
Acoustic pianos are delicate instruments that require professional handling with the utmost care. We use specialist piano delivery teams with years of experience to safely deliver upright and grand pianos. We can handle most situations, from a simple drop off to upstairs installations, and even locations where crane access is required.
Ahead of your piano delivery, we will ask you to complete our Piano Delivery Questionnaire to confirm a few details about access to your property and where the piano will be positioned. This will help us ensure your new instrument is delivered safely, efficiently, and without risk to either our team or your piano.
Removal of Existing Acoustic Pianos
If you have an old piano that you no longer require, we can arrange for its professional collection and disposal. Our specialist teams ensure the removal is handled safely without damaging your property.
- Disposal Service: Prices for piano collection and disposal start from £99.
- Part Exchange: If you are upgrading, we may be able to offer a part exchange value against your new purchase.
Please contact our team to discuss the specifics of your old instrument so we can provide an accurate quote and coordinate the removal with your new delivery.
Additional Services and Information
For those who prefer to collect in person, you can pick up your order from one of our warehouse locations in Eastbourne, Reigate, Milton Keynes, or Newcastle. To use this service, please contact us by phone to arrange a deposit and confirm availability, as online orders are not eligible for warehouse collection.
For specific quotes or to discuss complex delivery requirements, please contact our sales team at 01323 639335 or email sales@bonnersmusic.co.uk.
