Bechstein 1926 Gloss Black
Class B — Large Grand
Serial number 129581, built in 1926 by C. Bechstein Pianofortefabrik. Originally acquired from a UK school, this Model B played its part in the musical education of countless students before an extraordinary restoration brought it back to life. Fully rebuilt using original techniques: a new bespoke soundboard voiced to recover its rich, balanced tone, a new tuning plank for absolute stability, a new high-gloss black finish, and complete restoration and modernisation of the traditional tied action. This very instrument has been featured on two world-class albums by internationally acclaimed pianists Artur Pizarro, Ludovico Troncanetti and Rinaldo Zhok.
Tone and character
Rich, expressive and balanced with a light, fast, responsive touch — a proven recording instrument.
