The B-eries, like all Yamaha pianos, are instruments of extraordinary, natural beauty, combining art, craftsmanship and technology; a pleasure to play and to own. Exemplifying well-established Yamaha design principles, the entry-level B1 redefines the word ‘value.’ Retaining Yamaha standards in every way, the B1 offers the joy of Yamaha ownership at a price that will fit most any budget.

SMALL SPACE, BIG SOUND

The B-Series takes its inspiration from Yamaha’s popular U-Series with soundboards and ribs crafted from premium tone woods and fine spruce. The results are pianos with a tone that performs far beyond the entry level.

 

 

BACK POSTS, FORWARD THINKING

Years of cutting-edge research, including Yamaha’s proprietary wood-drying process, result in back posts that maintain their shape, strength and resonance for years to come.

 

ADVANCED V-PRO FRAME

Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced Vacuum Shield Mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame. Every B-Series piano features a full-perimeter frame built to Yamaha’s exacting specifications at their Iwata Forge in Japan.

 

SPECIALLY DESIGNED HAMMERS

B-Series hammers are crafted of the finest materials and painstakingly designed for each model to provide optimum tone, response and a lifetime of musical enjoyment.

 

HAND-WOUND BASS STRINGS

Yamaha artisans, in their factory in Kakegawa, Japan oversee the winding of pure copper and adjust the balance and tension of each bass string to the exacting standards and sound profile of every B-Series piano.

 

THE WORLD’S FIRST ALUMINUM ACTION RAIL

Often copied but never equaled, the patented Yamaha aluminum action rail helps assure your piano is resistant to tiny fluctuations in humidity and temperature over time.

SEASONED FOR DESTINATION

 

Yamaha specifically seasons this piano for the market into which they are shipped. The tuning stability, finish and overall musical integrity are enhanced over the long life expected of a fine piano.

YAMAHA BALANCED ACTION

 

Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually tested and measured for the corrections needed to obtain uniform “down weight” pressure. Yamaha actions play correctly and uniformly. This balancing helps ensure a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard.

 

AFFORDABLE QUALITY

 

Produced at a Yamaha factory in Indonesia from a scale design developed in Japan, B-Series pianos are Yamaha’s most affordable entry-level uprights. Although reduced production costs allow budget-friendly prices, Yamaha makes no compromises in the materials and workmanship that go into these exceptional uprights.
