Silent Pianos were first launched by Yamaha in 1993 and the digital technology have been constantly developed and improved. The renewed Silent systems (SC2 and SH2) of Yamaha were introduced in 2018.
Le modèle B1, avec une hauteur de 109 cm, impose une qualité de fabrication, une grande robustesse, et des qualités musicales remarquables pour ce niveau de gamme et propose un rapport qualité/prix exceptionnel.
Conçus pour offrir la qualité Yamaha au prix le plus abordable, les pianos de la série B puisent dans l’expérience acquise au cours de plus de 100 ans de production de pianos. Il en résulte un instrument fiable, idéal pour le pianiste débutant. Compact et robuste, sans compromis sur les matériaux ou le savoir-faire, la série B présente la sonorité claire et pure qui fait la réputation de Yamaha. Elle est équipée d’un clavier offrant une bonne jouabilité et une réponse facile qui inspire les musiciens de tous niveaux.
SC2 Silent System
Lorsque la fonction silence est activée et que l’on frappe les touches, la barre d’arrêt des marteaux est engagée pour empêcher que ces derniers ne frappent les cordes. Alors que le silence est imposé à l’instrument même, les mouvements des touches et d’autres informations de jeu sont enregistrés par des capteurs optiques et convertis en son numérique par un générateur de sons. Le son acoustique échantillonné numériquement est ensuite envoyé au casque d’écoute stéréo du joueur, afin qu’il ou elle puisse en profiter en toute intimité.
Enjoy the stunning sound of the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands.
The Yamaha GB1K SC2 Silent Piano System features the voices of both Yamaha CFX and Bosendorfer Imperial Concert Grand pianos. Each of the 88 keys of these two distinctly different instruments has been recorded (sampled) individually. When using headphones, the player will experience playing each of these grand pianos with the very best clarity and response possible. The CFX is a bold, bright piano, ideal for popular, jazz and light classics, whilst the Bosendorfer Imperial has a more 'European' rounded, mellow voice and is ideal for delicate classics or a full blown concert performance.
Improved headphone experience with Binaural sampling (only CFX sample)
The technology uses samples from the CFX, Yamaha’s acclaimed concert grand piano, recorded with specialized microphones that capture locational information and other nuances discerned by the human ear. The resulting sound is so natural, so enveloping, that you’ll soon forget you’re even wearing headphones at all. Once you choose the Yamaha CFX Grand Voice and put headphones on, the binaural sampled sound is automatically ready and no additional settings are required.
Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)
In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the SC2 system through enhanced Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM). The original VRM calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard, from one instant to the next, and timing and depth of damper pedals pressed. This technology allows for vivid, bright, richly-varied expression that reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in piano performance.
