~ Fully Restored C.Bechstein ‘Artiste’ Concert Grand Piano ~
* This piano has had the French 'Pleyel Magistral' entertainment system installed - see bottom of description for details.
This is quite possibly the most rare, unique and beautiful concert grand piano that we have ever restored; you will most likely never see another one of these pianos ever again in Australia. As an exclusive C.Bechstein dealer, we can give you complete piece of mind in purchasing this amazing piano.
Manufactured in the original C.Bechstein piano factory in Berlin, Germany in 1905, the piano was transported from France into Australia by a wealthy family in Toorak, Melbourne in the 1960’s. It has amazingly remained in the same family home ever since. We have tuned and maintained the piano for many years for the previous owners and when it came up for sale we jumped at the chance to acquire this stunning instrument.
The piano has been completely restored by us inside and out in our piano restoration workshop in Evandale, South Australia. Restoration work has included a full restring & and repin as well as having the piano mechanism and ivory keyboard completely rebuilt to perfect playing condition. No less than 500hours labour has gone into restoring this amazing instrument. A true Victorian / post romantic period piano this instrument is particularly suited to classical music of the period.
We have also fully refinished the stunning two tone cabinet, combining solid European Ebony and with Burl Walnut highlights; this piano now presents as brand new. With a new C.Bechstein Semi-Concert Grand Piano now retailing for in excess of $240,000 this is the perfect option for the new piano buyer and adds a mysterious twist of a vintage instrument that looks and plays like a brand new piano!
We have also obtained the official documentation of original manufacture and sale from C.Bechstein, Germany adding to the authenticity of the instrument.
A stunning statement piece, this piano oozes class and sophistication and would suit either a period style home or modern home as an amazing and classy feature piece.
Due to the beautiful tonal qualities of this piano, we have selected it to have a 'Magistral' high end entertainment system installed. Leaver and Son Pianos are the Australian exclusive importer and distributor of this system.
The 'Magistral' system is expertly installed into the piano by our technicians and incorporates a Bluetooth receiving control box mounted discreetly under the keyboard. Underneath the piano are 3 high end speakers installed onto the piano soundboard ribs; transforming the piano into a high end entertainment system. Simply Bluetooth your favourite music to the piano and listen to the sounds beautifully resonate through your pianos soundboard!
