Yamaha B10TC3PWHC TransAcoustic™ Upright Piano Polished White | Chrome Fittings
The Yamaha B10 TC3 TransAcoustic piano is the perfect choice for modern homes, combining the authentic feel of a traditional acoustic piano with the freedom to control volume, play silently and explore a range of digital sounds.The Yamaha B10TC3 TransAcoustic piano feels like a genuine step forward from the ever popular B1TC3, with noticeable improvements including longer strings, a larger soundboard, a full length music rest and a soft close fallboard, all of which contribute to a more refined and practical instrument overall. It is not just the features that stand out though, as the tone is more balanced across the entire keyboard with greater depth and warmth, particularly in the bass, giving it a more complete and mature sound. What really sets the B10TC3 apart is its flexibility, allowing you to play it as a traditional acoustic piano, use digital sounds, combine both together or practise silently through headphones, all in a way that feels natural rather than forced. The keyboard itself is smooth, responsive and consistent throughout, making it enjoyable to play for a wide range of players. Overall, the Yamaha B10TC3 TransAcoustic offers a lot for the price and in my opinion represents excellent value for money while fitting effortlessly into modern day living.

The Yamaha B10TC3 TransAcoustic™ upright piano is a wonderful example of how traditional piano craftsmanship and modern innovation can come together beautifully.

Available from Rimmers Music, the Yamaha B10TC3 is perfect for anyone looking for a compact acoustic piano with added flexibility, whether you’re a beginner, a returning player or someone who wants more from their instrument without losing the feel of a real piano.
If you’ve been searching for a Yamaha TransAcoustic piano for sale, a Yamaha upright piano with volume control, or a high-quality home piano with modern features, the Yamaha B10TC3 is an outstanding choice.
What is a Yamaha TransAcoustic™ Piano?
The Yamaha B10TC3 looks and feels like a traditional upright piano – because it is one. However, it also includes Yamaha’s TransAcoustic™ technology, which allows the piano itself to act as a speaker.
This means you can:
- Control the volume of your piano playing
- Play silently using headphones
- Layer digital sounds with the acoustic piano
- Enjoy music playback through the piano’s soundboard
- Practise more freely at any time of day
All of this happens while still using the real piano strings and soundboard, giving you a uniquely natural and immersive playing experience.
Authentic Yamaha Acoustic Piano Feel and Tone
At its core, the Yamaha B10TC3 delivers everything you would expect from a Yamaha upright piano.
You’ll enjoy:
- A clear, balanced and expressive tone
- Smooth, responsive key action
- Warm bass and bright treble
- Consistency across all 88 keys
- A compact cabinet ideal for the home
It’s a piano that feels rewarding to play from the very first note, whether you’re learning, practising or simply relaxing at the keyboard.
Adjustable Volume – Play on Your Terms
One of the most appealing features of the Yamaha B10TC3 is the ability to adjust the volume of your piano.
Unlike a traditional upright, you’re not limited to full acoustic sound. With TransAcoustic™ mode, you can:
- Lower the volume for quieter practice
- Play at a comfortable level in shared spaces
- Enjoy late evening playing without disturbing others
- Maintain the natural resonance of the piano
It’s a simple idea, but it makes a big difference in everyday life.
Silent Practice with Headphones
Like Yamaha’s SILENT Piano™ models, the B10TC3 also allows you to practise privately using headphones.
When silent mode is activated:
- The hammers stop before striking the strings
- Sensors capture your playing
- High-quality Yamaha piano sound is heard through headphones
- You keep the authentic feel of the real piano action
This is ideal for families, students and anyone who wants the freedom to practise whenever they like.
Play More Than Just Piano
The TransAcoustic™ system also allows you to enjoy a range of digital sounds alongside your acoustic piano.
You can:
- Layer strings or pads with your piano sound
- Explore different instrument voices
- Add depth and atmosphere to your playing
- Experiment creatively at home
Because the sound is produced through the piano’s own soundboard, it feels far more natural than a typical speaker system.
Immersive Sound Through the Soundboard
One of the most unique aspects of the Yamaha B10TC3 is how it produces sound.
Instead of relying on external speakers, the TransAcoustic™ system uses actuators to vibrate the piano’s soundboard, meaning the entire piano becomes a speaker.
This creates:
- A rich, natural sound
- Better integration between acoustic and digital tones
- A more immersive playing experience
- A feeling of sound coming directly from the instrument
It’s subtle, but once you experience it, it’s hard to go back.
Compact Design, Big Musical Potential
The Yamaha B10 TC3 is designed to fit comfortably into modern homes without taking up unnecessary space.
It’s ideal for:
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Home studios
- Flats and apartments
- Family homes
Despite its compact size, it still delivers a satisfying and expressive acoustic piano sound.
Built with Yamaha Quality and Reliability
Yamaha is known worldwide for producing reliable, consistent and long-lasting pianos, and the B10TC3 continues that tradition.
You can expect:
- High-quality materials and construction
- Stable tuning performance
- Durable action components
- Consistent touch and tone
- Long-term enjoyment
This is a piano designed to be part of your home for many years.

More Information About The Yamaha B10 & B Series Pianos
As your fingertips touch the keys, the piano responds with rich, acoustic sound which fills the room and your senses. Each note becomes a moment to savour, turning the ordinary into something quietly extraordinary. Whether you’re discovering the piano for the first time or returning to the keys, Yamaha B Series pianos bring joy and emotional depth to every note, every day, turning music into moments that stay with you.
From your very first encounter, and as you continue to grow with it, a B Series piano will enrich your daily life for many years to come. Yamaha have created an instrument with a pure, clearly articulated sound and a natural, expansive resonance which captivates and inspires, making you want to play even more. And as the natural materials of your piano mature, they develop a character that feels ever more familiar as the piano becomes uniquely yours. In order to ensure lasting quality, Yamaha is firmly committed to overseeing every stage of the piano's development in-house - from initial design to final production. Each and every component, including the soundboard, frame, and action, is crafted by Yamaha to ensure uncompromising quality.
Clear tone and rich resonance for a premium playing experience
Yamaha has developed special hammers for the new B Series that take advantage of the excellent elasticity of felt, reflecting knowledge gained from the development of the CFX Concert Grand Piano. They produce a focused, resonant tone that brings out melodies across the entire range. In addition, a redesigned soundboard (the source of the piano’s resonance) achieves a remarkably clear, spacious sound even in a compact size which is ideal for home use.
Improved Hammers provide pure, stable sound with resonant sustain
The hammers, which strike the strings to produce sound, play a crucial role in shaping
the piano’s timbre. To achieve a clear, pure tone, the B Series employs a special
method in processing the raw felt used in the hammers – a technique derived from our
flagship CFX Concert Grand Piano. This process takes full advantage of the inherent
superior elasticity of the felt, resulting in a sound that is remarkably clear, richly
resonant, and sustained. Every melody and phrase, across all registers, emerges with
vivid presence and expression
Clear tone and rich resonance for a premium playing experience
Yamaha has developed special hammers for the new B Series that take advantage of the excellent elasticity of felt, reflecting knowledge gained from the development of the CFX Concert Grand Piano. They produce a focused, resonant tone that brings out melodies across the entire range. In addition, a redesigned soundboard (the source of the piano’s resonance) achieves a remarkably clear, spacious sound even in a compact size which is ideal for home use.
The soundboard features a curved structure known as a crown, where even slight variations in shape can affect the tone. To protect this delicate structure from the strong tension of the strings and maintain optimal resonance, all models are equipped with five back posts. In the B10 and B20 models, the increased height expands the soundboard area, delivering a wider dynamic range and richer, more expansive sound. Longer bass strings also improve pitch stability and create a beautifully balanced sound with a rich bass.
Designed for immersive playing and a lineup suited to diverse lifestyles
Extending the full length of the fall-board, the wide music stand makes it easy to place multiple scores, or even long, unfolding sheets, without the need to turn pages. The top surface is deep and finished with non-slip fine artificial leather, providing stability even for thick music scores, and allowing for full focus on the performance. In addition, a built-in soft-close mechanism ensures fall-board closes gently for added safety.
In-house design and manufacturing ensure long-lasting, reliable quality
All stages, from parts production to final assembly, are carried out in-house under strict quality control. For example, to ensure each piano can be enjoyed for years to come, careful attention is given from the earliest stages to the drying of the wood used throughout the instrument. Backed by over 100 years of piano-making expertise and a scientific approach, Yamaha employs strict wood-drying standards to help minimize the effects of wood aging while enhancing resonance. In addition, all action components are machined with high precision and carefully assembled by skilled technicians, ensuring a smooth and consistent feel that players can enjoy for a long time.
