Used C. Bechstein D280 Concert Grand Piano

C. Bechstein was founded in 1853 by the German piano builder Carl Bechstein. An obsession for detail and an unrelenting passion for innovation led Bechstein to produce some of the finest pianos in the entire world. C. Bechstein pianos quickly became the first choice instruments for the highest-level players in the world and European aristocracy alike. Their unparalleled musicality and expressivity have led the company to cement its place as one of the “Big Four” piano manufacturers in the world alongside Blüthner, Bösendorfer, and Steinway & Sons.

The C. Bechstein D280 is a mammoth 9’2” full concert grand piano that simultaneously offers the most delicate expressivity and explosive power you will ever find in a piano. This iconic scale design and model has gained legendary status with many esteemed pianists deeming it the “perfect” instrument. In fact, this model is one of the most recorded/sampled pianos for VST piano plugins. As one would naturally expect from Bechstein, the level of precision in every detail of the instrument is extraordinary.

This particular 2004 C. Bechstein D280 is finished in polished ebony and was brought in on consignment from a studio. Given the context of its use, it was tuned and maintained to a far greater extent than most other used pianos you will come across. Consequently, it is in virtually pristine condition musically and aesthetically. The piano’s voice is richly coloured and captivatingly lyrical. The power and clarity of the bass register are extraordinary and the treble section is outstandingly brilliant without a shred of any unwanted metallic character. Simply put, this is a true masterpiece.

This is the perfect instrument for a recital hall, concert venue, recording studio, or lesson institution that is looking for one of the finest pianos ever built. You would be hard-pressed to find a pianist on this planet who would not fall completely in love with this amazing C. Bechstein D280.
