Finally, a vid that plays a substantial amount of classical for this piano, which does it more justice.

I'm so glad you enjoy the B1! It really is a fantastic entry-level digital piano - Josh

[@sarusmlk]

Could you please tell which music pieces you were playing

[@cyrocicco]

Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a Casio digital piano and thinking seriously about upgrading to an acoustic. Do you consider B1 a loud piano? I know it's a compact model and wouldn't like it to sound absurdly loud.

[@PopplersMusic]

How exciting! Thank you for watching my video :) The B1 would be a huge upgrade from your casino keyboard. The B1 is not too loud. If you are playing big chords, octaves in the bass, and playing as loud as you can, in a smaller room it can still give good volume but I wouldn't call it "absurdly loud." What size room will you be putting it in? If you have more questions I'd be happy to help! Depending on where you live, we may be able to help you with your purchase as well. [e-mail] Have a GREAT day! - Josh

[@cyrocicco]

@Popplers Music Josh, thanks for your answer. I'm relieved to know B1 is not a loud piano. It's a pity I can't buy it from Popplers Music, because I'm in Brazil. Once more, thanks for your videos and professional work!

[@cyrocicco]

@@PopplersMusic Josh, the size room is 21 m2.

great video!

Thanks so much Alex! I apologize I missed your comment. Are you a piano player? - Josh

[@itslaarnijane]

Great video, thanks for sharing! What’s the name of the piece you played at 8:34 ?

[@PopplersMusic]

Thank you for watching! That piece is gorgeous, isn't it?! It is Chopin's Waltz in A minor (published after his death I believe). Are you inspired to learn this piece? :) Sheet Music - www.popplersmusic.com/item/HL-324386/ Chopin Favorites: www.popplersmusic.com/item/50486580/ Have a GREAT day! - Josh

Wonderful video. So helpful to hear the scale. Would you say for entry level B1 is just right or should I shoot for B2 (just for more depth in tone... B3 too expensive for me)? Are they very different?

[@PopplersMusic]

Thank you J, I sure appreciate the kind words! J, I am more than happy to send you a personalized quote based on where you are at with piano and what you are hoping to do with piano 😊 If you could send me an email at [e-mail] with your piano experience, what you're hoping to learn and pursue with piano, where you are at in the country, and any other questions you may have - I will make a personalized quote for you to make an informed decision 😊 Thank you again for watching and sending me a message! - Josh (Piano guy in the video 🙃)

Check with you local store. Some have a replacement policy for an upgrade. Sometimes the upgrade needs to be 2 level higher or for a grand. Ex. Buy a B1, trade later for a B3. Buy a B2 trade for a U1... If it's the case, start with the B1. Personnally I would not buy the B1 for the sound. I decided to keep my used piano a bit longer and stretch for a 45in silent version or a 48in. It's all about budget. I've tried too many piano and I'm now corrupted. I shoudn't have tried piano that I can't afford... Good luck

I studied for 12 years and then went to college, worked, etc. and had no time to play. Would you recommend this to someone experienced who needs a piano?

[@PopplersMusic]

Thank you for watching and asking!! With your 12-year background already I think this may be a bit too entry-level for you. Most of our customers who have played that long appreciate the B3; P22; or U-series. I had one person in particular who had been playing piano for a long time and thought the B1 would be sufficient for her needs but she ended up upgrading after 1 year. The B1 is an entry-level upright piano and is best for beginners or individuals whose budget doesn't allow for a more expensive option (which is OK too!).

What's the name of the first piece that you played, I enjoy it a lot

[@PopplersMusic]

I'm sorry for the late response! That is Chopin's Nocturne in E minor. I learned it when I was a teenager and I still love the piece. Thank you for watching! - Josh

[@matthewvarney6214]

Does the B1 have a very bright tone?

[@PopplersMusic]

Thank you for asking, Matthew! Being the B1 is Yamaha's most entry-level option for an acoustic upright piano, you do get a more sophisticated and nuanced tone as you move up the B-Series and move into the U-Series without a doubt. However, anyone I have worked with in the past that has decided to purchase the B1 has been very happy with the touch and tone of the B1. Now, with ANY of Yamaha's acoustic upright pianos Yamaha had the reputation of having "bright" pianos in the 1900s. This is simply not the case anymore. Yamaha went through a research and development process from 1990-2010 and completely redesigned all of their piano models with modern engineering and design. I recently played a 2006 acoustic upright piano that is a different brand (not Yamaha), and I couldn't believe how bright and "tinny" the tone was. I thought, "maybe this is what Yamaha's pianos sounded like 75 years ago when they got the reputation of being bright." Yamaha is without a doubt, a leader in the industry and even their most entry-level acoustic upright piano model (B1) has a refined touch and tone that I would not call very bright. How long have you been playing piano, Matthew? What are your goals? - Josh

@@PopplersMusic Hi, the U3 of 1980's is sounding much better now it's settled in. 25 years ago, it was bright. Studios buy them like hot cakes.

It sounds better with the covers off.
