The Bechstein B responds beautifully to an unequal temperament harmonic style of tuning. This instrument looks to be in excellent, sorry impeccable, technical condition and would be really wonderful for a moderate domestic drawing room concert instrument.
Here's a model III in concert th-cam.com/video/12Cu8kt9cnw/w-d-xo.html and restrung one can expect the same sort of genre from a Model C or a Model B. New strings, as here, make a great difference to the harmonic purity of the sound.
There's nothing like a Bechstein.
just plain wonderful!!

Lovely to see you today.
Thank you very much for this video.
VFG Filz means that it's Filz (felt) from the VFG (Vereinigte Filzfabriken AG) in Hermaringen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Thank you for clarifying that; much appreciated Marcus
Nothing in the looks dept, but, oh my word, who cares when you hear it sing!
Thank you so much for your positive comment. Marcus
Witch Bechstein is better? A model C or a model III(3) ?
It very much depends on the individual piano and how it's been restored. The longer the better is the general rule though. Marcus
