Become Part of the Legend

Considered by many to be the finest piano in the world, Bechstein’s over 150 year piano-making tradition rests on a simple principle: create musical instruments that represent the peak of perfection. Their rarity, desirability and durability have earned Bechstein the highest international honours and laid the foundation of their formidable status in the world of pianos today.

Claude Debussy once stated, “One should only write piano music for a Bechstein.” Famous artists, composers, conductors and musicians of all genres have fallen under the spell of Bechstein’s warm, clear and powerful sound, making it their inseparable musical companion. Just a few musical legends that rely on the enchantment of Bechstein in their pursuits include Ferrucio Busoni, Alfred Cortot, Arthur Schnabel, Wilhelm Backhaus, Leonard Bernstein, and Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles launched their recording careers.

Today’s Bechstein upright and grand pianos fulfill the highest musical aspirations in the concert hall as well as in the home.
