The pinnacle of elegance in sound and form
The C. Bechstein Residence R 6 Elegance is worthy of its name for a number of reasons: the touch is wonderfully fine and can be felt throughout your body from the very first note. The rich sound instantly captivates the listener in an emphatic demonstration of tonal elegance. Made in Germany, this top-of-the-line upright piano boasts gently flowing lines and sophisticated details.
The highest sound quality
The fact that almost 200 hours of work in the C. Bechstein workshop in Germany flow into every single one of these upright pianos is a testament to the perfection of this instrument. It can be heard in the unique clarity of the sound and the richness of its timbre. It can be felt in the flawless responsiveness and maximized tonal performance.
Elegant restraint by design
The main visual hallmark of the C. Bechstein Residence R 6 Elegance is its elegant restraint. In particular, the flowing lines and the curves representative of the design exude an air of tranquillity and true inner grandeur. Upright pianos with such an imposing size have space in abundance for their fantastic sound to unfold, and are the perfect means of exploring worlds of music.
ACOUSTIC ASSEMBLY
SOUNDBOARD
The soundboard and ribs are made from specially selected, fine-grained European mountain spruce, which is stored for years and dried carefully.
BACK FRAME
Six highly robust, quadruple-laminated braces made of layers of solid pine form the stable backbone of the upright piano. This premium quality construction guarantees climatic stability as well as impressive tonal volume and exceptional tuning stability.
PINBLOCK
High-quality pinblock material made from cross-laminated and compacted sheets of beech veneer for excellent, even tunability and tuning stability.
TUNING PINS
Quality tuning pins made from nickel-plated steel. Balanced torque, low torsion, excellent tunability and tuning stability.
CAST-IRON FRAME
The cast-iron frame has the stability needed to withstand the enormous string-tension. Thanks to the careful sizing and traditional method of sand casting by hand, the cast-iron frame also enhances the sound.
STRINGS
Made from quality piano wire with high tensile strength and valuable copper wire from Germany, the strings have been calculated to maximize string length with balanced registers, harmonious overtone spectrum and excellent tuning stability. The strings are held in place by agraffes in keeping with C. Bechstein’s traditional design.
