Charity auction: bid for a Yamaha piano

2 October 2015, 14:15 | Updated: 7 October 2015, 14:23

Phone between 10am and 11am on 8 October and place your bid to win a b3 SG silent upright Yamaha piano. All proceeds go to Global's Make Some Noise.

This auction lot, in aid of Global's Make Some Noise, is for a stunning, top-of-the range Yamaha Piano.

If you’re the successful bidder, you could be welcoming a revolutionary upright piano into your home, which combines the best of acoustic and digital pianos.

The b3 SG silent upright is a beautiful acoustic piano, built with the knowledge and skills of over 100 years' of Yamaha piano history. When headphones are plugged in, the piano goes into 'silent mode'. The hammers will no longer hit the strings and instead a highly sophisticated sensor-technology captures all movements of the keys and perfectly recreates the piano sound in your headphones. This awardwinning silent piano retails at £7,350.

For the chance to win this amazing prize and support Global’s Make Some Noise, this auction prize will be open for bids on Classic FM between 10am and 11am on Thursday 8th October 2015. The number to call between those times will be 0345 949 5000.

Global’s Make Some Noise is a national charity that helps to change young lives, brought to you by eight of the best-loved commercial radio stations in the UK: Heart, Capital, Capital XTRA, Classic FM, Smooth, LBC, Radio X and Gold.

Listen to Classic FM for the number to call and for the current highest bid. Full terms and conditions are below.
