Yamaha B1 | Upright Piano | Polished Ebony

And they succeeded. The b Series, like all Yamaha pianos, are instruments of extraordinary natural beauty, combining art, craftsmanship and technology; a pleasure to play and to own.

The sturdy contemporary design features back posts for added strength, while the specially designed soundboard and high-grade hammers endow the b1 with an unrivalled richness and sound depth for a 43" piano. Yamaha's renowned, pure, clear tone and easy to play, responsive keyboard touch make this upright ideal for beginning piano students.

Ideal for small spaces, the b1 Continental upright measures 43 inches high with a width and depth of 58 ¼ " and 21 ¼," respectively.

The b1 features a laminated soundboard that minimizes soundboard cracking. Yamaha reinforces the crown of its soundboard to ensure that the tone quality will remain consistent for years.

Yamaha's patented Extruded Aluminum Alloy Action Rail eliminates the common fluctuations in wood and metal encased rails, that affect touch, allowing for a more stable, long-lasting action regulation. Yamaha only uses select Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Like all Yamaha pianos, the b1 offers Uniform Key Travel to ensure that regardless of size, type or model, Yamaha keyboards will always feel the same.

The b Series also offers a Balanced Action. Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually weighted, allowing all keys to play uniformly, ensuring a lifetime of superior touch and control across the entire keyboard.
