C. Bechstein

For everyone who knows the Sound of Excellence

I am more than an instrument.
I am a source of inspiration.

The centerpiece of culture.
A beacon in the art of living.

I am for everyone who knows
the Sound of Excellence.

Displaying the intimate relationship between a musician and her piano, Georgian piano talent Irma Gigani brings C. Bechstein's sound of excellence to life.

Once a child prodigy, Irma has a close bond to the Berlin manufacturer. She was the winner of the first C. Bechstein — Bruckner competition in Linz (Austria) and played iconic locations such as the quarters of the Pontifical Swiss Guard in the Vatican City or the Nice Opera for UNESCO.
Silicon Valley Piano is proud to be the exclusive authorized C. Bechstein dealer in Northern California.

C. Bechstein is known for their exquisite grand and upright pianos made in Germany. Discover the outstanding quality of our Bechstein pianos, made for ambitious beginners and professional pianists alike.

Many models also have bluetooth MIDI and/or C. Bechstein's VARIO digital system, which allow you to play your piano acoustically or silently with headphones. Ask us about all the possibilites with these enhancements.

For those wanting more options than traditional black, C. Bechstein pianos come in an array of texture and color options — white, walnut, mahogany, cherry, and more to select from — each polished or satin-finished.

At Silicon Valley Piano's showroom, we've pinpointed the top models from each series that are the most popular choices for both upright and grand pianos, both locally and internationally. If you have a specific model in mind that you'd like to order, feel free to contact us.
