I am the 153th subscriber to this channel and do not understand why we are not more than at least 10K. Thanks for this great review of this amazing upright ! Cheers from Switzerland.
I haven't tried to Blüthner S, the Steingraeber 138 or Bösendorfer 130 but so far it's the most impressive upright I've tried. Better than Seiler, Schimmel and the Kawai 800 or Yamaha SU7
I do have a new-ish Concert 8, that is still settling in. Bluthner B is also very nice, and the Bosendorfer is comfortable. I would say I found that Steingraeber 138 or 130 would be the strongest rival, though. (Grotrian also makes excellent uprights if you like their sound.)
@@RModillo I've visited a store one day on a business trip who was supposed to sell Grotrian but unfortunetly they were out of stock... So I have had this chance yet. But it's on my list
The one and only difference would be the size, and therefore different volume output. The C6 stand at 126cm height compared to 132cm on the C8. That's about it, if space or sound output are factors for you, you would choose accordingly, both are excellent upright pianos of uncompromising quality! Hope this helps.
in the midst of action of a busy day, we were a bit impatient, we will make a recording with the piano tuned and release it as a performance, I will include the link in this comment section when it will be uploaded!
@@Javier-jn6cc that is the C8 concert, they do not. Perhaps they chose to not add agraffes in upper register to make it more singing and add some harmonics. It would be interesting to test full agraffes VS V-bar (capo d’astro in grands). I wouldn’t say with certainty one is better than the other without extensive tests. I’m sure the choice was made wisely and backed by research of Bechstein engineers. Hope this helps!
73,000$USD MSRP on Piano Price point. Price will vary from dealer to dealer, sometimes by a significant margin, depending on many factors. We will include MSRP price in our next videos!
same here. I'm forever captivated by Bösendorfer. I also like Baldwin, so neutral without a signature distinct sound, just perfect and even in every register, similar to Bösendorfer.
Unbelievably rich sound. Wow.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm very glad you enjoyed! More Bechstein reviews are coming!
Nice! Thank you very much from Germany.
It is my dream to own one of these. Superior sound.

That’s a beautiful store. Nothing like that in Vancouver when I bought my Bosendorfer
What are the main differences in comparison to the Concert 6? That’s the one I could afford, not the Concert 8 unfortunately.

Why didn’t they tune it before demonstrating it?

What is real difference between Concert 8 and C8? Bechstein support told me it’s the same but different name.
@@goldenstasgs No difference. Bechstein support is correct, C8 is just an abbreviation for Concert 8🙂
Thank goodness. I have new Bechstein Concert 8 white 2022 with my name on it❤😊
Is that a Concert 8? I thought they had agraffes all the way?

Price is always helpful……

@@pianovertu да за такую цену я Болдуин куплю концертный секонд хенд или Бёзендорфер!
@@almur88 что ваша душа желает то и берите!❤️
Prefer a Bosendorfer sound, but a nice piano.

@ I own a Chickering from the early 1900’s, owned a couple of them now, love the deep sound of the make.
@sylviamdallos2202 Chickering was very innovative, Heinrich Steinweg learnt and implemented a great deal from Chickering design
Sorry, aber nicht optimal intoniert. Besonders die mittleren Register. Gut intoniert klingt es wesentlich weicher. Habe das gleiche Modell
Nothing amazing. American Pianos are better sounding pianos.
There are many of amazing pianos from around the whole world! It all comes down to personal preference at the of of the day.
Hahahahaha
