Yamaha B3 48″ Acoustic Upright Piano Overview

Welcome to Popplers Music. My name is Josh. Let’s talk pianos.

Today, we are going to be taking a look at Yamaha’s B3 acoustic upright piano. The B series is Yamaha’s entry-level acoustic piano series. There’s the B1, the B2, and the B3. The B3 has a 48” soundboard and has the same scale design as Yamaha’s flagship U1.

Here are some features of the B3. Yamaha took everything they learned from more than a century of crafting fine pianos to create an instrument to inspire the next generation of players. The result is an elegant compact piano with a responsive keyboard and clear resonant tone. Whether you’re a beginner, a budding virtuoso, or an accomplished musician, the B series is an absolute joy to play.

The B series takes its inspiration from the popular U series with soundboards and ribs crafted from premium tonewoods and fine spruce. The result is pianos with a tone that performs far beyond the entry-level. Years of cutting-edge research including Yamaha’s proprietary wood drawing process, result in back posts that maintain their shape, strength, and resonance for years to come.

Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced vacuum shield mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, and more durable frame. Every B series piano features a full perimeter frame built to Yamaha’s exacting specification at its Iwata Forge in Japan.

B series hammers are crafted of the finest materials and painstakingly designed for each model to provide an optimum tone, response, and a lifetime of musical enjoyment. Yamaha artisans in Yamaha’s factory in Kitagawa, 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.

Often copied but never equaled, the patented Yamaha aluminum action rail helps assure the piano’s keyboards are resilient to tiny fluctuations in humidity and temperature over time.
