The Yamaha B1's Keyboard and mechanics
All keyboards used by Yamaha in their acoustic pianos are produced in-house. The B-series keyboards are made of Sitka spruce. In order to deliver optimal keyboards, the wood is dried carefully and in a natural way. This drying process sometimes takes up to 2 years. After this time, the keys are acclimatized in very hot kilns. The keys are then not coated, so that the benefit of this drying procedure is optimal. The keys can then no longer be influenced by conditions such as temperature and humidity and thus remain in absolute top condition for many years.
Yamaha uses a patented technology for drying and gluing maple wood in the B1. This type of wood is most commonly used for piano mechanisms and ensures a very accurate and durable action. The patented drying and gluing technology ensures that the mechanism can withstand continuous shocking, as well as changes in temperature and humidity. The mechanism consists of no fewer than 5500 parts, all of which are produced by Yamaha itself. One of the most unique parts is the aluminum rails that keep the deviation in the attachment point to a minimum. Yamaha was the first company to use Aluminium, which is insensitive to temperature changes.
Other models in the B-Series
The "B-series pianos" from Yamaha consists of three models, in addition to this B1 model, the 113 centimeter high Yamaha B2 and the 121 centimeter high Yamaha B3 are also available. As the series progresses, the pianos not only get higher, but also use more quality features such as a solid soundboard and extra support beams.

A Silent System then allows you to play a real acoustic piano, without noise pollution. The Silent System ensures that the sounds are reproduced through your headphones.
