Yamaha YS10 Silent – acoustic piano with Silent system

Yamaha YS10 Silent – Short description
This used acoustic piano from Yamaha is factory-equipped with the Silent system. In normal mode it behaves like a classical piano; in Silent mode the hammers are stopped shortly before striking and the sound is generated digitally.

How the Silent system works
Under the keys, optical sensors detect the force and speed of the key strike without changing the mechanical action. The acoustic sound production is suppressed, while a digital sound module outputs selected piano sounds (often including high-end samples such as Yamaha concert grands) through headphones. Depending on the version, additional functions such as different sounds, a metronome and basic recording are available.

Particular advantages
The system combines the authentic mechanics of an acoustic piano with the ability to practice silently — ideal for living situations with noise limitations. The keyboard response remains mechanically authentic; at the same time digital timbres and headphone operation are available. Instruments with a factory Silent system tend to retain their value better than pianos that can be retrofitted afterwards.
