Serial number: 63523. Manufactured in Germany, this is a Model 8 Bechstein. Need we say more?
The Model 8 – or Concert 8 – Bechstein is the crème de la crème of upright pianos available, comparable to the best pianos in the world! With the feel of a grand, Bechstein actually refers to this model as, “A grand piano in an upright’s clothing.” They are one of our absolute favourite pianos and are extremely rare on the South African market.
The piano has a black casing. As you can see in the photographs, the finish needs a touch up. Internally, the piano only requires a service. It has 88 keys – with a medium to lighter touch – and 2 pedals. The naturals are ivory. The dimensions are a height of 130 cm, a width of 156.5 cm and a depth of 62.5 cm.
The DE 687 C. Bechstein Upright Pianoforte with stool is currently considered under restoration.
