C. Bechstein Grand & Upright Pianos: Luxury You Can Hear

Since 1853, C. Bechstein is the reason the world knows German pianos to be the best.

Each piano receives over 500 hours of craftsmanship, made from the finest woods, steel, and felt on earth. Their sound is detailed, capable of conveying thousands of harmonics at once with perfect clarity. And their mechanisms are weighed and adjusted to within 1/10 of a millimeter.

Two musically distinct lineups offer fortunate owners the choice between traditional design (Academy Line) or the very best and latest advancements the world has to offer (Concert / Residence Line). All grands and uprights within each line share virtually all design components, material quality, and craftsmanship, leading to an incredible consistency of experience regardless of the model chosen.
