This changes the action's setoff setting so that the escapement trips at a lower point in the hammer's motion towards the string. In more advanced systems, usually on grand pianos, the piano's action is also altered when the silent function is engaged.
The Silent piano was invented by Yamaha in 1958 and has been through many decades of refinement. Older models detected key movement by using mechanical sensors that affected the touch and produced a clicking sound, whereas newer models use optical sensors that do not affect the feel or sound of the piano.
In all silent systems, engaging the silent function causes a bar to move into place such that it intercepts the hammer shank and stops the hammer from hitting the piano string. The pianos also have full MIDI capability for sending signals and can be linked to a computer for use with notation software, etc. In the silent mode, sensors pick up the piano key movement, converting it to a MIDI signal that can be sent to an electronic sound module, allowing the person playing to use headphones.
