Yamaha B20TC3 Technology

- Binaural CFX sampling and 20 instrument voices ensure high‑quality sound through both the soundboard and headphones.
- Bluetooth audio and MIDI connectivity enable wireless streaming, app control and integration with the Smart Pianist app.
- Built‑in metronome, recording, layering and split functions and USB connectivity extend your creative possibilities.
Yamaha B20TC3 Sound & Performance
With the TC3 system disengaged, the B20TC3 behaves like an acoustic B20, offering rich tone, deep bass and sweet treble. Engage the transacoustic mode and you can control volume without losing resonance; silent mode with headphones allows discreet practice. Its larger cabinet compared to the B10TC3 makes it suitable for more demanding repertoire and medium‑sized rooms.
Who is the Yamaha B20TC3 for?
- Intermediate to advanced players seeking a powerful upright with volume control and silent practice capability.
- Families and homes where rich acoustic tone and flexible volume control are equally important.
- Schools and teachers needing a robust instrument that can adapt to different practice environments.
