A versatile sonic talent for every repertoire Music offers us an almost infinite variety. From baroque to hard rock. From Gregorian chant to jazz. And it is precisely this broad repertoire, one that deliberately refuses to commit to a single lane, that needs an instrument able to carry and accompany this diversity. The new C. Bechstein Academy A 4 piano meets exactly these requirements: its entirely new structure lets every genre sound in its own unique way. A sound multi-talent Despite our more than 165 years of experience, we are still thrilled every time our new designs come to life. Yet we can proudly say this time as well: our development department and our piano builders have outdone themselves! The C. Bechstein Academy A 4 sounds wonderfully sublime and elegant, and at the same time fresh and impulsive. This distinctive sound profile and exceptional playing character make the Academy A 4 universal for any musical use, whether privately or as a working instrument for professional demands. The design — a tribute to clarity This tonal versatility is deliberately wrapped in a design that forms a quiet counterpoint: clean, reduced, timeless, modern lines. The overall result is a harmony and balance that could hardly be more perfect.

The centrepiece of C. Bechstein's Academy series is now even more impressive. Thanks to a newly conceived acoustic system and a refined action, the successor to our classic Academy A 124 impresses with an even more striking sound and volume. Thanks to a significant extension of the maximum speaking string length and optimisation of the cast-iron plate design, the soundboard geometry has been further improved and the bridge contour adapted for even more intense vibration transmission. In this way, maximum sound and volume are impressively drawn out of the popular, modern cabinet shape with classic elements.
