An upright piano that's both modern and classic, confident and modest. Bechstein builds pianos for music lovers and demanding amateur pianists. This model is as beautiful as it is powerful.

Persuasive lines in glossy black. Delicate chrome lines underscore a slender silhouette and bring elegant, simply structured surfaces to life. Discreet chamfers set off the fall and the top panel, making them easier to open. Additional chrome lines redefine the piano’s profile.

Shadow grooves and subtly soft edges make the pure style agreeable. Chrome toe blocks accent the case. A true work of art, too beautiful to stand in the corner!

It's perfection and aesthetics that will continue to enchant future generations.http://pianovertu.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Schimmel-konzert-series-film.mov Weight & dimensions	As a variant of the C 116 Modern3, the classic console construction method, with feet and toes, emphasizes the vertical aspect and gives the C 116 Cubus Moderne more visual substance. Whether with or without console, both models offer the perfect musical and visual treat for the senses.	http://pianovertu.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Kawai-K-upright_1.movAvec unique design, the 48″ K-400 professional upright piano stands out from all other uprights in its class. Its grand-style music stand, which is large enough for oversized books and sheet music (and places the music at eye level), is popular with students and professional players alike. The exclusive Kawai Millennium III Upright Action is regarded as one of the world's finest vertical actions, helping the K-400 upright to deliver exceptional control, responsiveness and consistency over many years of performance. The solid spruce top is strategically tapered to maximize the K-400's sound-producing capacity. In terms of style and function, the K-400 upright piano is an instrument that stands out from the crowd. The K-400 is part of the K series upright piano range. The music stand of a grand piano The uniquely practical 122 cm K-400 features a grand piano-style music stand that puts music at eye level and provides a solid surface for scores and large music books. The two-part hinged lid adds to its distinctive appeal. Touch Millennium III Upright Action The Millennium III Upright's action features components made from ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by infusing carbon fiber into our famous ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly strong and rigid, enabling the creation of lighter action parts without compromising strength. The result is a more powerful, faster action offering greater control and stability than conventional all-wood actions. Extended Key Length Longer keys make the game easier to play and offer a more uniform response from the front to the back of the playing surface. The benefits for the player are better control and more power with less effort. Tone Solid spruce conical soundboard The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its role is to transform the vibrations of the piano strings into a rich, resonant sound. Kawai uses only solid quarter-grain spruce for the K series soundboards. Each soundboard is strategically tapered to maximize its tonal capacity. Only those that meet or exceed our strict quality standards are selected for use in our professional upright pianos. The hammers Mahogany wood core and double felt hammers secured with T-shaped staples. Mahogany hammerblocks are lightweight and extremely responsive. Found only on the finest pianos, mahogany is used for the hammer moldings on the entire range of K-Series professional upright pianos. All K-Series hammers are stapled in a T-shape to preserve their shape, and feature an additional inner layer of felt to support the creation of exceptional sound. Weight & dimensions	What happens when the "golden section" principle is transferred to a piano? This produces well-proportioned models like the C 126 Tradition. In art and architecture, the golden section is often regarded as the ideal proportions between certain combinations of lengths, and is also considered the quintessence of aesthetics and harmony. Seen from this angle, this model certainly meets all the criteria.	https://pianovertu.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CBR_R6_Video_16x9_FR.mp4 A top piano for your music room “A noble, inexhaustible, and sympathetic fulness of tone, together with an exquisite action which admits of the utmost variety of shade, bear testimony to the fact that the manufacturer has attained the utmost degree of perfection in the art of instrument making” – as Rubinstein once noted. Still holding true today, the new C. Bechstein Concert pianos are easily being mistaken for a grand piano. Not only by sound, but also by its unique action that comes amazingly close to a grand piano action. Conveniently sized and full of rich tone, the C. Bechstein R6 will adorn your music room and bring you endless moments of joy.
