Yamaha B30 TC3 TransAcoustic Upright Piano; Polished Ebony
The Most Powerful and Expressive Piano in Yamaha’s B Series Range
The Yamaha B30 Upright Piano is the flagship model in Yamaha’s redesigned B Series upright piano range.
At 121cm tall, the B30 delivers noticeably greater depth, projection, and tonal richness than the smaller B10 and B20 models, making it an excellent option for serious students, advanced pianists, and players wanting a more substantial acoustic piano experience at home.
At Bonners Piano Centres, we often recommend the B30 to pianists who know they want a piano capable of supporting long-term musical development without stepping into a much larger professional upright.
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 Bigger, Richer and More Room-Filling Sound
One of the first things players notice on the B30 is the scale of the sound.
The taller cabinet design allows for:
- longer strings
- a larger soundboard
- increased internal air volume
Together, these elements help create:
- deeper bass response
- longer sustain
- broader tonal projection
- greater harmonic richness
Compared to smaller upright pianos, the B30 feels more open, powerful, and expressive.
Premium Underfelt Hammer Design
The B30 features Yamaha’s redesigned hammer construction along with upgraded underfelt hammers.
Underfelt hammers use an additional layer of felt beneath the hammer surface, helping produce:
- warmer tonal character
- smoother dynamic transitions
- more nuanced expressive control
- greater tonal colour across the keyboard
Combined with the larger cabinet dimensions, this gives the B30 a more mature and refined musical voice that advanced players will appreciate.
Improved Cabinet Design and Five-Back-Post Structure
The B30 benefits from Yamaha’s redesigned cabinet framework and reinforced five-back-post construction.
This stronger structure helps:
- maintain tuning stability
- improve resonance transfer
- reduce energy loss
- support more powerful playing
Back posts are essential to an upright piano because they support the tremendous tension created by the strings. The reinforced structure in the B30 helps the piano remain stable and tonally consistent over many years of use.
Solid Spruce Core Soundboard for Greater Resonance
The B30 uses a solid spruce core soundboard designed to maximise tonal projection and resonance.
Spruce is prized in piano building because of its ability to respond efficiently to vibration, helping produce a more open and resonant sound.
In the B30, this contributes to:
- fuller bass frequencies
- richer harmonic content
- improved sustain
- greater tonal depth
Yamaha has also improved resistance to temperature and humidity fluctuations, helping the piano perform consistently in domestic environments.
Designed for Serious Home Pianists
Despite its more substantial sound, the B30 still retains a clean and elegant cabinet design suited to modern homes.
Features include:
- full-width music desk
- soft-close fallboard
- refined cabinet styling
- upgraded castor design
These details help give the piano a more premium overall feel both visually and practically.
Our Honest View at Bonners
The B30 is the model in the B Series where the piano really starts to feel “grown up”.
It offers:
- noticeably more tonal authority
- stronger bass presence
- greater expressive range
- a more immersive playing experience
For committed pianists, it’s a very convincing alternative to significantly more expensive upright pianos.

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.
