TransAcoustic™ Piano and SILENT Piano™
As soon as you feel the music, it’s there. Responding to your emotions with sonorous sound and nuanced expression. It’s an acoustic piano, but one which can be played any time, at any volume. Experience the profound joy of playing, with a whole new level of excitement.
Getting out of bed,
I opened the window.
The breeze was a little chilly,
But still comfortable.
And the desire to play comes to me.
It’s night-time, but that doesn't matter.
It's a chance to get closer to music.
It’s just a small voice,
But it talks to me.
Expressing with honesty, exactly what I have in my heart.
Before I go to bed, I want to play it again.
The piece that my teacher has shown me.
These moments of inspiration are too important to waste,
By simply putting them to sleep.
With this piano, I don't need headphones.
Even at night.
I can hear if someone calls me and answer them.
While all the time continuing my practice.
Better still, I can feel the sound with my body.
Not just hear it with my ears.
That’s why the lesson is different now.
TransAcoustic™ Piano: THE PIANO THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
Yamaha's revolutionary TransAcoustic™ Piano allows the player to adjust the volume and mute the sound while maintaining the harmonically rich and complex of an acoustic piano. The initial vibration generated by the hammers striking the strings is amplified by the soundboard – the very heart of the piano – and the entire body of the instrument serves as a resonator to produce sound, taking full advantage of the original piano design. It lets you play without using speakers, control the volume to your liking, and enjoy performing or practicing at any time of day or night, while experiencing the full, natural piano sound.
TransAcoustic™ Piano AND SILENT Piano™: A WORLD OF MUSICAL POSSIBILITIES
THE RICHNESS OF ACOUSTIC SOUND

Based on the Acoustic Piano
The TransAcoustic™ Piano and SILENT Piano™ are both equipped with special mute and volume control functions, alongside their traditional acoustic piano features, allowing you to play the piano at the optimum volume for your circumstances, free from the normal sound constraints that can come with playing a conventional acoustic instrument.
When you don’t use these features, the instrument can still be played as an acoustic piano, letting the player express their emotions directly through their fingertips, responding precisely and with infinite expressive power. In just the same way, this instrument inspires the pianist every time they play, presenting limitless opportunities for musical expression, creating sounds that can only be achieved by an acoustic piano.

Select your favourite sound to match the style of music you want to play and experience the joy of music that transcends genres.
TransAcoustic™ TECHNOLOGY
Inside a conventional acoustic piano, hammers strike the strings, and the string vibration is transmitted to the soundboard that occupies much of the piano’s interior, amplifying the sound. In place of string vibration, the TransAcoustic™ Piano produces sound through vibrations generated by a transducer, which converts digital sound into vibrations which are then transmitted directly to the soundboard. So even though the sounds are digital, they can be reproduced with the rich resonance unique to acoustic instruments, playing the sound through the same mechanism and process as an acoustic piano.
