Carefully selected materials
In all Bechstein instruments, the careful selection of materials plays a key role in the success of the A-208 parlor grand piano. For example, the finest spruce is used for the soundboard and its ribs. The remaining wooden parts are made of high-quality pine. Other parts of the body are made of solid wood cross-band veneer. The sand-cast iron plate provides excellent resistance to tension, and optimizes the fundamental tone. The integrated capodaster strips and duplex scales play an important role in the colorful sound of the triple stringing, while specially designed agraphs (string guides) limit the duration of the middle and bass strings. Both the strings and the tuning pins are made of the finest materials.

A salon wing rooted in the rich Bechstein tradition
The Research & Development department of Bechstein has taken into account the great tradition of the brand in the development of the Premium Bechstein pianos. As a result, the Premium Bechstein instruments are distinguished not only by their wide dynamic range and noble tone, but also by the professional decision to use the own German C. Bechstein hammer heads in the Premium series.
