Yamaha B20 Upright Piano

Name: Pianos of Princeton
Price range: $$

With a height of 116 cm and an elegantly refined design, the B20 is the piano for those who want a little more — more presence, more resonance, more room to grow. The taller cabinet houses a larger soundboard that broadens the instrument’s dynamic range and deepens its bass, while the same CFX-inspired hammers and precision-manufactured action found across the B Series ensure a playing experience that feels as refined as it sounds.

Elegant by Design. Expressive by Nature.

The B20 is the piano for the player who has heard the difference and wants more of it. At 116 cm, its taller, elegantly proportioned cabinet brings a richer acoustic voice into any room — more depth in the bass, more breath in the sustain, more dynamic range to explore. Yet it remains a piano designed for real homes and real lives, built with the same uncompromising Yamaha craftsmanship that runs through every note it produces.

A Richer Sound, Rooted in Craft

The B20’s soundboard has been thoughtfully redesigned to achieve a sound that is remarkably clear and spacious — a rich bass that supports melody and harmonies together, creating a beautifully balanced voice where every register can shine. The soundboard’s curved crown is protected by five back posts, guarding against the constant tension of the strings so the piano retains its ideal resonance for decades. As the natural materials mature with use, the instrument develops a warmth and character that becomes distinctly yours.

Precision From the Inside Out

Every note the B20 produces passes through an action built to an exacting standard. Yamaha manufactures all action components in-house — over 60 precision parts per key — processed to a tolerance of 0.05 mm and assembled by skilled craftsmen. The hammers themselves draw on techniques developed for the CFX Concert Grand Piano, taking full advantage of the elasticity of the felt to produce a tone that is clear, resonant, and sustained across all 88 keys. It is craftsmanship you feel the moment you begin to play.

Built for the Way You Live

The B20 is designed to belong in a home without demanding concessions from it. Its elegant polished finish and composed silhouette sit naturally in a living room or studio. A wide music stand — deep, non-slip, and extending the full length of the fallboard — holds even the largest scores without fuss. The soft-close fallboard protects the keys and speaks to the quality embedded in every detail of the instrument. Yamaha oversees every stage of production in-house, from the casting of the frame to final assembly, so that standard never slips.

On Your Terms, Any Time

For households where flexibility matters as much as sound quality, the B20 is available in two further configurations. The B20SC3 SILENT Piano™ allows completely private practice through headphones — on a real acoustic piano, with access to premium voices including the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial. The B20TC3 TransAcoustic™ adds volume control that works through the soundboard itself, preserving the natural acoustic resonance of the instrument at any level, with Bluetooth connectivity for playing along with music from your device.
