Yamaha B20 Upright Acoustic Piano
The Yamaha B20 is a 116 cm acoustic upright from Yamaha's current B Series, sitting between the compact B10 and the 121 cm B30. It pairs B Series Special hammers and a redesigned soundboard with a precision Yamaha action, a V-Pro frame and a polished ebony cabinet.

Practical touches such as the wide music stand and soft-close fallboard make daily practice easier.
Key Features
A 116 cm Upright with Balanced Proportions
At 116 cm high, 153 cm wide and 58 cm deep, the B20 is the middle height of the three B Series uprights. It offers a larger cabinet than the 110 cm B10 while staying comfortable in a living room or teaching space, and it sits on single casters.
B Series Special Hammers in the B20
The hammer felt is processed using a method Yamaha derived from its flagship CFX concert grand, making the most of the felt's natural elasticity. The result is a clear, pure tone with a resonant sustain, so melodies and inner voices sound distinct in every register.
Redesigned Soundboard with Five Back Posts
Yamaha redesigned the B Series soundboard to give a clear, spacious sound from a compact cabinet, with a full bass that supports melody and harmony. Five back posts help the soundboard keep its curved crown under string tension, which protects the resonance over the years.
Precision Action Made In-House
Each key of an upright action uses more than 60 parts, and Yamaha makes all of them itself, machining each one to a tolerance of 0.05 mm before skilled assembly. That means a smooth, dependable touch, and straightforward part replacement if servicing is ever needed.
V-Pro Frame from Yamaha's Own Foundry
The frame has to hold more than twenty tons of total string tension and also shapes the sound. Yamaha casts its frames in a dedicated factory using the vacuum process, a technique it pioneered for piano frames, for consistent quality from one piano to the next.
Full-Length Wide Music Stand
The music stand runs the full length of the fallboard, so you can spread out several scores or long unfolded sheets without turning pages. Its deep top surface is lined with non-slip fine artificial leather to keep thick books steady.
Soft-Close Fallboard
A soft-close mechanism lowers the key cover slowly and gently, helping to protect players' hands and making the piano easier to live with in a busy home or teaching room.
