Antique C. Bechstein Piano Upright Grand
The Bechstein piano is the most sought after antique piano bar none! The sound is incredible! When I found this piano 19years ago it was still 100% original condition, even original strings! I learned a lot by speaking with Courtney Pianos in Germany about this piano when I got it. I was told that restoring the exterior would reduce the value so the outside is still all original! It’s got its scratches & chips & dings, but I think it looks great as is. I’m not a foremost authority on these model numbers. Courtney Pianos said with only 85 keys the number would be on the soundboard shown 2794 making this a 1867 Upright , straight strung grand piano that was built while Carl Bechstein was still building them one at a time! They say he produced about 15 pianos a year back then. I had a local piano tuner tell me the number on the inner side board was the serial number also shown 20422 which according to the chart makes it an 1887 piano. Personally I believe Courtney Pianos in Germany, but again, I’m not the expert. Whether it’s 150yrs old or 130, it looks awesome for it’s age! I wanted a piano that had the sound more than looks & this definitely has a jaw dropping sound. I also prefer the vintage look over the “brand new” look so this was my obvious choice. The action assembly has been fully restored with new springs, catches, etc. The hammers are still all original and in excellent shape. About a dozen or so strings had to be replaced to be properly tuned. I’m moving and can’t take this with me so I’d love to find it a new owner before I go. Stool is included, obviously recently recovered, also antique. The item “Antique C. Bechstein Piano Upright Grand” is in sale since Wednesday, September 13, 2017.
