Manufacturing of Bechstein Pianos 10/12 - Key and action regulation

Episode 10 of the documentary "Manufacturing of Bechstein Pianos Today" gives insight to the accurate fine adjustment required to ensure that each key and the corresponding individual parts of the hammer action are exact and work easily.

The Bechstein myth lives on in our highly sophisticated approach to piano making. Since its foundation in 1853 Bechstein continues to stand for the highest class of grand and upright pianos. Claude Debussy stated, not without justification, that piano music should only be written for Bechstein.

Join our CEO and master piano technician, Karl Schulze, on a tour through our manufacture.
