A beautiful and genuine C. Bechstein upright piano, made in Berlin in 1929.
This piano comes from a particularly important and fascinating period in the history of C. Bechstein. The years around 1914–1930 represent the end of the great pre-war and early 20th-century German piano-making era, when Bechstein was producing instruments renowned for their craftsmanship, musical character and exceptional construction.
This is therefore not simply an old piano — it is a genuine 1929 Bechstein from one of the most historically significant periods of the company’s development.
