Frequently Asked Questions

The SC3 system is designed to be completely transparent – when headphones are disconnected, the piano plays as a standard acoustic piano would, without any digital alteration.
Yamaha has worked hard to minimize latency, and most users find the response time perfectly acceptable for real-time playing, although extremely sensitive players might perceive a slight delay.
While excellent for its class, the GHA in the b1 doesn't quite match the nuanced response and subtle variations of Yamaha's flagship acoustic pianos; it's a very close approximation, however.
