| | Comments on this make | Prolific make of top quality uprights and grands mostly made 1890 to 1930. Bechstein upright Models I to V often suffer from central heating and need new pin-blocks. *Post 1902 upright models 6 to 10 are very well made and have a rich tone. Modern ones good but varied. Please see seperate Bechstein page for more information.
