Using leasing-edge CNC machines, the basic parts of Bechstein upright and grand pianos are manufactured to precise detail. Then with pin point accuracy, holes are drilled in exactly the right places in the cast iron frames and the exquisite wood of the piano is sawn and milled to perfection.

It is then time for the human touch. Voicing specialists and concert tuners put the soul into the pianos by voicing the hammers by hand and ear and exercising their judgement so each piano is finely tuned, well balanced and ready to be heard.
