That wasn't the sound from the lavalier mic, that was the clean digital sound the piano produces. Putting the headphones like that, not that close from the mic , it couldn'tve produced the sharp, well-defined sound that followed. But if that's really the digital audio produced, it's quite nice.
Amazing TECH. Extensive. When you dont NEED a 7 foot grand (or have the space)... love the "honest" Yamaha sound. Nothing "extra" is on each note. One of the reasons why professionals in recording studios and rock bands prefer Yamaha. Or David Foster...composer/musician.
Hello! Your presentation is wonderful! I have a question... Can you make a comparison between the B1 (or the B1 silent) and the CLP-685 (a clavinova with superb sound quality)? They have almost the same price. What would you choose ? Many thanks! Vassilis
I cannot beleave, that we hear the piano sound coming out of the head phones into Your microphone. Surely it is directiy. Sounds very good. The problem with this laser controlled piano is that after some years dust and dirt make problems. I have a yamaha grand touch piano. It works also with laser and i have tone repetitions with out playing the.
Once you enable silent mode does it sound exactly the same as it would without? Besides that I have another question, would you recommend this piano to someone who is only able to play on silent mode?
Hello Trophaeum Gaming - the piano actually sounds a bit better in silent mode. You are listening to a very high end digital sample of a concert grand piano. When playing on silent mode you are still playing with full acoustic action. You can absolutely practice this way. Thank you for your comment.
I believe they are also available in the European market. Frankly, not every product does well in every market, so it may not be distributed in Asia or South America. Thank you for your comments!
The b2 Silent *is* a real acoustic piano. When you put it in silent mode, the digital piano sounds excellent through the headphones, and is perfect for practicing :)

Hi!! I want to buy an upright piano but I am very interested in the fact that the keys are quite heavy, Are the keys on this piano heavy? Sorry my english.
Are they the same exact piano only that the silent one has headphones that you can use? Like does the bi silent have strings? Or does it have same sound?
The Yamaha b1 silent DOES have strings! When you put the middle mute pedal on, the hammers don't hit the strings and you can only hear the digital piano sounds through the headphones. It's the best of both worlds, acoustic and digital!
I hope one day I’ll be able to afford this :p

Everything I want in an upright piano😍
I think for a first piano this one is perfect

I have the B1 acoustic only in a small living room, and I absolutely love it. It does have a mute pedal to reduce the volume quite a bit.
Yes, the B1's middle pedal is the mute pedal. Push it down and slide it to the left to lock it in mute position.
0:08 I laughed so hard at that joke, lol
Me too, must be the eyes.
Thanks for the review, Hugh. It was really helpful. I`ve just got the acoustic-only one. It`s awesome! I like it a lot.
Awesome! So glad you found this helpful, Daniel!
Is the sustain pedal also working on silent mode, or must you use the digital reverb controller only?
such a beautiful classic and elegant design, can only be Yamaha

My dude busting out the peanuts theme I'm dead 😂
How much do these cost?
Can the B1 silent be heard without headphone, yet with adjusting volume?
You will need a transacoustic piano to do that maoyanr. th-cam.com/video/_tvI8bMLous/w-d-xo.html
I know the B1 has strings in it, but does the Yamaha B1 Silent edition have any actual strings in it?
Yes, the Yamaha B1 Silent is a full acoustic piano with real strings!
I have just purchased a Yamaha B1. Do you need to do anything to set it up?
How is the volume when playing as an acoustic piano?
I love it! Thanks for this awesome video!
How much does the Yamaha silent piano weigh?... Are there casters underneath it?
The B1 silent system can it be connected to a mobile device for Flowkey app?
I know that the silent mode enables you to do different kind of voices. How do you change voices ?
Is it really acoustic? Does it have strings? I live in a condo and I am a piano teacher so this would be amazing for me.
Name of the piece??

Thank you for your quick response, your video and comment is highly appreciated!
How much is the silent piano cost
What song is he playing?
"Linus and Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi.
Is there one on Amazon?
Very informative! Thanks for this review though.
So the headphone sound is not coming from string?
Nah, if it came from the string, it wouldn't be silent. You would hear the sound all across the room.
Are B1s only made for the North American market? I've never seen them outside a US context.
I believe they are also available in the European market. Frankly, not every product does well in every market, so it may not be distributed in Asia or South America. Thank you for your comments!
Makes sense! Seen a lot of UI-Js in Asia, but never anywhere else :) I think these are great options for apts.
You're absolutely right - these b1's were specifically designed for apartments and tight spaces!
I'm from germany and I got a B1 from like... the 1980s... B1 2 3 is really just a series like BMW with its 5er 3er etc.
whats the piece of music you're playing Hugh ?
It's "Linus & Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi :)
thanks Hugh ! Thought I recognised it ... best wishes from the UK. LOVE the piano btw.
just LOVE it!
No demo of the una cord pedal... why aren't I surprised ....................
amazing, does it have a usb?
Yes it does! (The Silent version, that is)
Does it record to a USB?
Yes it does!
CunninghamPiano superb! Does it feel like a real acoustic piano and is it good for practising?
The b2 Silent *is* a real acoustic piano. When you put it in silent mode, the digital piano sounds excellent through the headphones, and is perfect for practicing :)

MARIA CAMILA SANTOYA yes they are
Are they the same exact piano only that the silent one has headphones that you can use? Like does the bi silent have strings? Or does it have same sound?
Through the headphones, the Yamaha b1 silent sounds like a 9' concert grand! Really beautiful sound to practice with!
CunninghamPiano yes, but without the headphones does it have the same sound of the b1
Without the headphones the piano sounds and acts like a "real" b1 acoustic piano with hammers striking strings.
CunninghamPiano so the b1 silent doesen't gave strings?
The Yamaha b1 silent DOES have strings! When you put the middle mute pedal on, the hammers don't hit the strings and you can only hear the digital piano sounds through the headphones. It's the best of both worlds, acoustic and digital!
i have the ymaha b3
I like but why you had to play jazz instead of classic
why not?:))
