Kawai Silent Series piano lets you play anytime with headphones — perfect for HDB living.

Introduction:

Living in an HDB, condo, or apartment? A silent piano might be exactly what you need to enjoy full acoustic sound without disturbing your family or neighbours.


What Is a Silent Piano?

Silent pianos are traditional acoustic pianos fitted with a special system that lets you play silently with headphones. The keys feel the same, but sound is produced digitally through sensors.


Why It’s Perfect for Singapore Homes

1. Ideal for HDB and Condos

With close neighbours and thin walls, a silent piano for HDB or condo allows students and adults to practice anytime — even at night — without complaints.


2. Real Acoustic Touch + Quiet Mode

Unlike digital pianos, silent pianos still give you the authentic touch, tone, and key resistance of a traditional piano.


3. Great for Beginners and Exam Students

Late-night revision, last-minute scales, or slow practice can now be done quietly. Many ABRSM students in Singapore prefer silent pianos for this flexibility.


4. Save Space, No Need for Two Pianos

Instead of buying both an acoustic and a digital piano, a silent upright piano gives you both in one instrument.

Both Yamaha and Kawai offer high-quality silent systems — great options for Singapore buyers.
