Yamaha Silent Piano SG2 Piano Specification

The Yamaha Silent Piano SG2 represents an innovative blend of traditional acoustic piano craftsmanship and advanced digital technology. This model features a robust acoustic piano structure, complete with a full 88-key keyboard and high-quality strings, delivering authentic sound and touch. The SG2 system integrates Yamaha's proprietary digital sound engine, allowing the piano to be played silently through headphones, making it ideal for private practice without disturbing others.

The silent mode is activated through a simple lever, disengaging the hammers from the strings and triggering optical sensors to capture the keystrokes. This data is then processed to produce a high-quality stereo sound sampled from a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano. The SG2 is equipped with a polyphony of up to 64 notes, ensuring complex passages are faithfully rendered without note dropouts. Users can choose from various digital tones, enhancing versatility for different musical styles.

Connectivity options include MIDI output, enabling integration with external devices and software for recording or further sound manipulation. The piano also features an AUX input, allowing users to play along with external audio sources. The Yamaha Silent Piano SG2 retains the elegant and timeless design of an acoustic piano, with a rich finish and responsive action that meets the demands of discerning pianists. It's a bridge between the traditional and contemporary, offering the tactile satisfaction of a real piano while embracing the convenience of digital technology.
