C. Bechstein
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Bechsteins are still superior if we're looking at tonality and touch. Absolutely sublime.
- When it comes to new I personally prefer the traditional European brands like Bechstein, Hoffmann, Sauter, Petrof, Schimmel, Förster, Seiler, Grotrian, Steingraeber, Blüthner and Rönisch.
- You may get more value for money by finding a refurbed secondhand piano - perhaps a Bechstein, or Welmar (fantastic 2nd hand uprights in Europe.
- Bechstein, perhaps one of the finest piano manufacturers in the world, and patently European at that
- My upright is a Bechstein bought new (but on offer) and that is pretty good.
Cons
- Which brand of piano is best among concert grands - is it Steinway, German Steinway, Bechstein, Shigeru Kawaii, Fazioli, etc.

Might not be as refined as a Schimmel or a Bechstein or a Sauter (imho the best upright with their repetition springs).
I have a Steinway and a Bechstein
If it's not a major brand like Yamaha, Steinway, Petrof, Bechstein, etc., they probably won't take it anyways.
I've seen that Bechstein, Blüthner and Steinway & Sons have showrooms in the city center and you can hire rooms for 1h for 8-20 quid, depending on the piano.
