Despite its size, it has top-of-the-line quality and richness of sound that Yamaha always guarantees. It is also the best-selling piano in the USA.

They transmit only the pitches that we perceive as round and mellow, and they do so in a particularly rich fashion. The Yamaha GB1K is Yamaha’s smallest baby grand piano at 5’. In other words, a soundboard is a “board that transmits vibrations,” while at the same time, it is in a certain sense, a “board that stops vibrations.” What makes the spruce family so highly valued as soundboard materials – and especially the Alaskan sitka spruce used in many pianos – is that these species have the property of absorbing the higher-pitched overtones more effectively. The reason why this does not occur is because wood cuts off the higher harmonic components (i.e., the overtones), leaving only those components of the sound that are musical and sound good to our ears – transforming them into a richer, more resonant tone. If this sound were to be amplified as is, the piano would end up being a giant noise generator. Built-in Alexa voice control for easy control of your sound bar, smart home devices, music and more.
YAMAHA SOUNDBOARD FULL
If you were able to listen closely to the sound that struck piano strings make, you would find that it is full of metallic jangling noises. Enhance your TV, movies and games with built-in Alexa voice control, DTS® Virtual:X virtual 3D surround sound, a wireless subwoofer, and Bluetooth® streaming all in a simple, sleek setup. For the higher frequencies, it does the opposite: it reduces them. The answer is that, unlike metal, which amplifies both low-pitched notes and high-pitched notes in the same way, wood amplifies only the lower-frequency sounds. If it were only a matter of loudly amplifying the sound produced when the hammers strike the strings, a metal plate would have been much more efficient. Advanced Scale Design Soundboard and Frame Redesigned Hammers Soft-Close Fallboard. In contrast, the soundboard that translates their energy into a rich, resonant sound is made of wood. An expansive soundboard and acoustic chamber give the 131 cm U3 extended power and projection, with the peerless tonal and expressive control of the legendary Yamaha action.
