You could win a Yamaha U1 SH2 Silent Piano and a private piano lesson with Benjamin Grosvenor in our Classic FM Auction.
This Yamaha U1 SH2 Silent Piano piano not only offers the rich tone and responsive action you would expect from a Yamaha acoustic piano but also has the added benefit of Yamaha’s SILENT system – which allows you to plug in a pair of headphones, switch to SILENT mode, and by using the piano’s in-built digital module, play at any time of day or night without being disturbed or disturbing others.
And that’s not all, on a mutually agreed date, you will also have the very special opportunity to have a one-hour private piano lesson with acclaimed British pianist, Benjamin Grosvenor! This will either take place in London or virtually, which will be the winner’s choice.
