For over 150 years,the name Bechstein has been synonymous with the greatest pianos. Throughout these years, Bechstein pianos have been patronised by the world's greatest artists and composers. Bechstein has given voice to performers from the classical masters to the modern legends.

Characterized by their distinctive, mellifluous clarity of tone, underpinned by perfect touch and a staggering dynamic range, they fulfill the needs of any pianist.

Unlike some prestigious marques of piano which are designed along the lines of concert hall pianos with a strong tone and high volume for playing against an orchestra, Bechsteins were created for the pianist who requires both richness of tone and subtlety. These qualities render Bechstein pianos the ideal instrument for interpretation of the modern piano repertoire, as Claude Debusssy said:

" Man solte Klaviermusik nur fur den C. Bechstein schreiben".

" Piano music should be written only for the Bechstein".

A bold claim indeed, but it is for this reason that no manor house, stately home and chateau, was complete without its famous Bechstein piano.
