The Bechstein model I (one) is among the best upright pianos ever made. Bechstein produced an astonishing ten different pianos in their upright range. The Model I flagship model has never been bettered.
This magnificent example in Rio rosewood with exquisite marquetry dates from the golden age 1890. It has been fully rebuilt at the Cavendish piano factory and is ready for another 100 years of playing pleasure. The richness of tone and sheer power are simply awesome and inspiring.
At 145cm (57.5″) this is a monumental piano with a string length equal to or above many modern grand pianos yet with an elegance of design to grace any home.
Completely original with dual music rests and 88 note ivory keyboard this is an heirloom quality piano of considerable rarity.
