Silent Pianos

What is a silent system?

Silent pianos are just that – silent! Or at least they can be, which is why they make such a popular and remarkable instrument.

Designed to bridge the gap between the desire for a ‘real’ piano and the practicality of a digital piano, they allow the user to plug headphones in and immerse themselves in the sounds of an acoustic piano – without disturbing anyone else.

Clever optical sensors and an electronic sound module are installed, which, when the piano is switched to silent mode, convert the key movement into an electric sound. This is then relayed to the player through headphones.

Why choose a silent piano system?

Opting for a silent piano offers a number of benefits. Do you stumble over your notes if you think someone is listening, or prefer to practice in private with no distractions? Perhaps you’re worried that your neighbours complain easily, or you work shifts and can only play at night? Or maybe it’s the kids who are learning, and you don’t think you can stomach listening to scales loudly on repeat or yet another rendition of ‘The Entertainer’.

Whatever your reason, enjoy playing a silent piano to access the best of both worlds and ultimate flexibility with Richard Lawson Pianos.

I recently purchased my digital piano, the Kawai CN301, … read more from Richard Lawson Pianos in February, and I wanted to share my experience.As someone completely new to the piano world, I initially thought buying a piano would be simple, like buying clothes or food. I quickly realised that it is very different and can be quite confusing, especially without any knowledge or experience.Before finding Richard Lawson, I had some disappointing experiences with other shops. Some merchants were not very professional or transparent. One told me the piano I wanted was discontinued and tried to push me towards a more expensive model they had in stock. Another said they had the piano available but delivery to my address would take 10 to 12 days, which did not seem right.In contrast, my experience with Richard Lawson Pianos was excellent. From the beginning, they were honest, transparent, and very helpful. The customer service was fantastic, and the delivery was fast and smooth.The showroom is also impressive. You can take your time, explore different instruments, and receive proper advice without any pressure. The staff are knowledgeable and patient, which made a big difference for me as a beginner. They also offer help with finance options, which is very useful.If you are thinking about starting your piano journey and are unsure where to buy from, I would definitely recommend Richard Lawson Pianos. I am very grateful for their support and would like to say a big thank you to everyone at the showroom.

Great experience from start to finish!We originally … read more planned to go for a Yamaha U1, but after speaking with Colin, his knowledge and expertise really stood out, and he took the time to guide us through the options in a way that felt both professional and genuinely helpful. He was also very friendly and approachable, which made the whole experience even better. Based on his advice, we decided on a fully refurbished Yamaha U3H along with a matching stool — and it was absolutely the right choice.The delivery was smooth and well-organised, and the overall service was excellent throughout. The team made everything feel easy and stress-free.Highly recommend!

Richard was outstanding in helping us find the right … read more piano for our son. He took the time to understand our child’s stage of development, our budget, and our long‑term goals, and his advice felt genuinely tailored rather than sales‑driven.His warmth and sincerity over the phone were so striking that we travelled to Amersham the next day — and we’re glad we did. His range of acoustic and digital pianos is excellent, and the whole experience was relaxed, welcoming, and pressure‑free.We had our digital Yamaha Clavinova delivered and assembled the same day, which was incredible service.If you want honest guidance, great value, and someone who truly cares about matching you with the right instrument, contact Richard. He made the whole process easy and enjoyable.

I am now the owner of a really good quality reconditioned Yamaha U3H!
