A PIANO IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. IT BECOMES PART OF YOUR LIFE AND, WELL CHOSEN, WILL BE WITH YOU FOR LIFE.
Yamaha have been making pianos for over a century but the new b Series is something of a departure for us. A hundred years of accumulated knowledge has been condensed into our most affordable piano ever. No corners have been cut. No compromises made in materials or workmanship. We simply set out to design a fully featured Yamaha piano but at a lower price. And we succeeded.
YAMAHA B1
The b Series, like all Yamaha pianos, are instruments of extraordinary natural beauty, combining art, craftsmanship and technology; a pleasure to play and to own.
Exemplifying Yamaha’s well-established design principles, the b1 redefines the word value. Undercutting lesser competitors whilst retaining Yamaha standards in every way, b1 offers the joy of Yamaha ownership at a price that will astonish and delight.
Made from selected solid spruce, the b Series keyboard maintains Yamaha’s unrivalled reputation for traditional, perfectly weighted touch. The high-grade acrylic resin coating is both comfortable and durable while compression moulded phenolic resin black keys replicate the feel of ebony. Actions and hammers are checked and finished by our craftsmen giving them the opportunity to adjust the piano’s response for optimum performance and ensuring delivery of a warm, superior sound.
High quality die cast brass pedals offer the utmost in durability, performance and style.
The b Series soundboard incorporates a superior “crown” design for maximum resonance and sound performance enhanced by specially selected ribs that are matched to the soundboard characteristics. A 4-ply solid maple bridge, meanwhile, ensures optimum stability of tone.
Even the tuning pins benefit from Yamaha’s total dedication to quality. Advanced precision cutting techniques are employed to maximise tuning stability and the rigorously tested, hard-wearing pin block is resistant to temperature and humidity changes.

Yamaha B3
M3’s powerful yet articulate characteristics are produced by a large frame and soundboard and the higher grade hammers coupled to a proven, high specification action design. For the more serious pianist, B3 is the perfect combination of performance and affordability.
The maw Yamaha B3 enjoys the additional strength and performance benefits of five back posts supporting a specially designed soundboard, engineered for optimum tone and finished in top quality spruce. Lacquered for enhanced high-end clarity, the B3 soundboard is designed to offer optimum tonal characteristics within a cost effective and stable structure.
Upgraded strings give improved tonal quality throughout the registers.
Hammers and felts are manufactured to a superior specification creating the ideal combination of longevity and sound quality. Consistency of the felts ensures optimum performance across the high and low registers, delivering an idel balance between warmth and brightness.
The B3 action is of a well-proven design offering a lightness and precision of touch not usually associated with instruments in its price range.
