Used Bechstein Pianos for Sale
Looking for a used Bechstein? Here is an honest guide to what is out there, what to check, and how to know a fair price. We are Yamaha specialists and do not sell Bechstein, so this is guidance, not a sales pitch.
What you will find
Used Bechsteins range from hundred-year-old German grands to modern instruments and the cheaper Academy and Hoffmann lines. The first thing to establish is which you are looking at, because the price and quality vary hugely. See our models guide.
What to check
Condition above all: the soundboard, action, tuning stability and case. Whether it has been rebuilt, and with what parts. And which line and era it is. Age matters less than people think. Always have one seen by an independent technician before you buy. Our buying guide has the full checklist.
What is it worth
See our price guide for the ranges. A cheap Bechstein usually has a reason, so be curious rather than excited.
