Yamaha C3X SH3 SILENT Piano™ Polished Ebony

In setting out to design a piano that could resonate with the pianist, the designers of the CX Series have created instruments that can truly sing. Silencing system has been added to this C3X. This is an SH3 type SILENT Piano™

SILENT piano™s are genuine acoustic pianos equipped with Yamaha’s advanced silencing technology. When the keys are played in SILENT Mode, the hammers are stopped immediately before striking the strings so that the piano itself generates no sound. Sensors installed below the keys decipher how the keys are played and relay the data to the digital tone generator, which generates sampled sounds that can be heard through a pair of headphones. By allowing players to play a true acoustic piano sound under normal circumstances, or to put on headphones and play in SILENT Mode to avoid disturbing others, SILENT Piano™ makes any time a good time to sit down at the piano.
