Yamaha b Series

Undercutting lesser competitors while retaining Yamaha’s high standards, the b1 offers the joy of Yamaha ownership at a price that will astonish and delight.

In addition to its larger dimensions and heavier construction, b2 features a solid spruce soundboard to deliver a superior sound with added depth and volume. For the ambitious performer on a budget, there is no better instrument.

The b3 is the top of the b series and it approaches professional standards while remaining true to the series’ design philosophy of great value with a very affordable price. At the heart of the b3 is a solid spruce soundboard which produces rich and colorful tonal resonance.

Small Space, Big Sound
The b Series takes its inspiration from our popular U-series with soundboards and ribs crafted from premium tone woods and fine spruce. The result is pianos with a tone that performs far beyond the entry level.
Back Posts, Forward Thinking
Years of cutting-edge research, including our 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 our exacting specifications at our 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 our 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 our piano keyboards are resistant to tiny fluctuations in humidity and temperature over time.

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.

Quality Components, Quality Sound

Supported by four sturdy wooden back posts and a strong cast iron frame, b Series pianos are endowed with Yamaha’s renowned pure, clear tone. High-grade hammers and a proven action design offer effortless playing and a highly responsive keyboard ‘touch’ that make these uprights ideal for beginning players.

Design

Yamaha’s b Series features pianos in a range of heights, widths, and depths. The b1 and b2 boast slender profiles, making them ideal for small spaces. With its larger dimensions and heavier construction, the b3 upright requires a little more room but brings a rich, far-reaching sound.

Customer Reviews

Another thoroughly satisfied customer of Ruggero Piano. While having had excellent experiences at both Maus and Hopper, Ruggero blew us away. Jay helped take us through the various pianos available, giving us detailed information about each one, and what differentiates both Yamaha and Ruggero. Then, as an added treat, he showed us the workshop where pianos are restored! All in all, a great purchasing experience. Thanks!! - Taylor Allison
