 Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM)
 In a grand piano, strings and sound resonate throughout the body of the instrument, resulting in rich sound reflections that envelop the listener in sound. Not only will the strings you play vibrate, but the other strings will also sound in response to the strings you play. That's why piano sound is so complex and rich. This phenomenon is perfectly reproduced on the Silent piano via Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM), which calculates the different stages of the strings for each of the 88 keys of the keyboard from one moment to the next. 
 
 SILENT SYSTEM
 If you like the feel and sound of an acoustic piano but also want to be able to play without disturbing others, the SILENT piano may be for you.
 When the Yamaha SILENT Piano function is active, the hammers no longer hit the strings. Instead, high-quality sensor technology records every key movement and sends this information to a digital sound generator. You can play your acoustic piano through your headphones at any time of the day or night, without disturbing others or being disturbed yourself. Thanks to the unique Yamaha silence system, it is possible to practice at any time. In addition, the system offers many other functions. The system has numerous pre-installed timbres, you can record your performances with it and you can also connect to smart devices for using Apps.
 
 Smart Pianist app
