Experience the exceptional musical character of the Yamaha GCB SH3, a compact grand piano that brings together Yamaha’s renowned acoustic piano craftsmanship and sophisticated SH3 SILENT technology.
At just 151cm in length, the GCB is designed to deliver the resonance, tonal depth and expressive response expected from a grand piano while remaining suitable for a wide range of home environments.
The SH3 SILENT system provides the flexibility to practise through headphones without disturbing others. In SILENT mode, Yamaha’s optical sensors detect the movement of the keys while the hammers are stopped before striking the strings. The digital system then reproduces the piano sound through headphones, allowing you to enjoy realistic piano performance at any time.
