Experience the rich sound and authentic touch of a real Yamaha acoustic piano, with the added freedom to practise privately whenever you choose. The Yamaha B10 SC3 Silent Upright Piano in Polished Ebony with chrome fittings combines the natural tone and response of a traditional Yamaha upright piano with advanced Yamaha SC3 Silent Piano technology, giving you acoustic performance and headphone practice in one beautifully designed instrument.
Compact, elegant and highly versatile, the Yamaha B10 SC3 is ideal for modern homes, apartments, teaching studios, families, students, adult learners and returning players who want the feel of a genuine acoustic upright piano without being restricted by practice time, room size or household noise.
At just 110cm tall, the Yamaha B10 SC3 is the most compact model in Yamaha’s latest B Series Silent Piano range. It delivers the musical benefits of a true acoustic upright piano, while Silent mode allows you to mute the acoustic sound and practise through headphones.

Finished in polished ebony with chrome fittings, this model has a sleek, contemporary look that works beautifully in modern homes, music rooms and stylish interiors. The deep gloss black cabinet gives the piano a premium presence, while the chrome pedals, hinges and fittings add a clean, modern contrast.
Why Choose the Yamaha B10 SC3 Silent Upright Piano?
The Yamaha B10 SC3 is designed for players who want the best of both worlds: a real acoustic Yamaha upright piano and the convenience of silent headphone practice.
Unlike a digital piano, the B10 SC3 is a genuine acoustic upright. When played normally, the hammers strike real strings, producing natural resonance, depth and expression. When Silent mode is engaged, the acoustic sound is muted and Yamaha’s SC3 sensor system captures your playing so you can listen privately through headphones using premium Yamaha piano sounds.
This makes the B10 SC3 an outstanding choice for anyone who wants an authentic piano-playing experience, but also needs the flexibility to practise quietly at home.
A Real Acoustic Yamaha Upright Piano
The heart of the Yamaha B10 SC3 is a true acoustic upright piano. Yamaha’s latest B Series design has been created to deliver a clear, balanced and rewarding sound in a compact cabinet, making it ideal for homes where space is important but musical quality still matters.
The B10 SC3 features Yamaha B Series Special hammers, a V-Pro frame, five back posts for structural stability, and a redesigned cabinet and soundboard system that help produce a clear treble, warm bass and expressive dynamic range. The result is a compact upright piano that feels reliable, musical and inspiring from the first lesson through to more advanced playing.
For beginners, students and developing musicians, this is a major advantage. A real acoustic action helps players build proper finger strength, technique, tone control and expression from the beginning. The Yamaha B10 SC3 gives learners a strong musical foundation, while offering the flexibility required for modern family life.
Yamaha SC3 Silent Piano Technology
The Yamaha B10 SC3 is fitted with Yamaha’s SC3 Silent Piano system, allowing you to enjoy private headphone practice while keeping the authentic feel of an acoustic upright piano.
When Silent mode is activated, the hammers are stopped from striking the strings. Instead, Yamaha’s non-contact sensor system detects your playing and sends the performance to the digital tone generator. Through headphones, you can enjoy detailed and expressive piano voices, including the Yamaha CFX concert grand and Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano sounds.
This makes the B10 SC3 ideal for evening practice, early morning playing, apartments, shared homes, student practice, family households and anyone who wants to play without disturbing others.
Practise More Often, Without Disturbing Others
One of the biggest benefits of the Yamaha B10 SC3 Silent Upright Piano is simple: it helps you play more often.
With a traditional acoustic piano, practice time can be limited by neighbours, sleeping children, family members, work schedules or the natural volume of the instrument. The B10 SC3 removes many of those barriers. You can enjoy full acoustic piano sound during the day, then switch to Silent mode when you want to practise privately through headphones.
For students, this can mean more regular practice. For adult players, it means you can enjoy the piano around your schedule. For families, it makes a real acoustic piano easier to live with every day.
Polished Ebony Cabinet with Chrome Fittings
The polished ebony finish gives the Yamaha B10 SC3 a deep, glossy and premium appearance, while the chrome fittings add a clean, modern edge. This version is ideal for customers who love the classic look of a black upright piano but prefer a more contemporary finish than traditional brass.
The chrome pedals, hinges and hardware create a stylish contrast against the polished black cabinet, giving the piano a refined, modern look that suits contemporary homes, apartments, studios and interior-led spaces.
It is a piano that looks elegant, feels substantial and sounds beautiful — a true acoustic instrument designed for modern living.
Compact Size for Modern Homes
At 110cm tall, the Yamaha B10 SC3 is especially well suited to homes where space is valuable. Its compact cabinet makes it easier to place than larger upright pianos, while still offering the musical benefits of a real acoustic instrument.
This makes it a strong choice for apartments, smaller living rooms, practice rooms, schools and teaching spaces. It is also ideal for customers upgrading from a digital piano who want a genuine acoustic upright without choosing an instrument that feels too large or visually dominant.
Designed for Students, Families and Serious Learners
The Yamaha B10 SC3 is an excellent piano for beginners and students, but it is much more than a starter instrument. Its acoustic action, Yamaha build quality and Silent Piano functionality make it a piano that can support long-term musical development.
Students can practise with proper acoustic touch, parents can manage household noise more easily, and teachers can recommend a piano that offers both traditional musicianship and modern flexibility.
For returning players and adult learners, the B10 SC3 offers a rewarding balance of quality, convenience and confidence. You can enjoy real acoustic sound when you want it, and quiet private practice when you need it.
Smart Features for Modern Practice
The Yamaha B10 SC3 gives players more than silent practice. In Silent mode, you can access premium piano voices, headphone outputs, recording features, metronome functions and connectivity options that support learning, practice and creativity.
Two headphone outputs make the piano especially useful for teacher-and-student practice, duet-style silent listening, or shared private playing. USB connectivity also makes it easier to connect with compatible devices, apps and recording setups.
This makes the B10 SC3 a powerful choice for students, teachers, home musicians and anyone who wants an acoustic piano that fits naturally into modern life.
Practical Features for Everyday Playing
The Yamaha B10 SC3 includes a soft-close fallboard, helping the key cover close gently and safely. The wide music rest provides space for larger music books, exam pieces, duet scores and modern sheet music, making the piano practical for lessons and everyday practice.
The three-pedal setup includes damper, silencing and soft pedals, giving players the essential control needed for expressive acoustic playing as well as easy access to Silent mode.
