One of the most powerful, charismatic and colourful upright pianos in the world, the C.Bechstein A4 is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Produced by the finest piano engineers and craftsmanship, with hundreds of hours of meticulous testing and quality control to ensure perfection with every note, the Academy A4 is a true piano for life.

A versatile talent for every repertoire

Music has an endless array of styles. From baroque to hard rock. From Gregorian to jazz. Musicians – in particular those with wide-ranging repertoires who deliberately choose not to settle on a single style – need an instrument that can accommodate and embrace this variety. It is with these musicians in mind that the new C. Bechstein Academy A4 piano was conceived. Its completely new design allows the player to bring out the true essence of every musical genre.

A virtuoso across the board

Despite C.Bechstein's 165 years of experience, they never fail to get excited when a new designs produces their very first sounds. The Development Department at C.Bechstein and piano makers have absolutely outdone themselves and created a truly sensational result! The C. Bechstein Academy A4 sounds wonderfully distinguished and elegant – and yet fresh and impulsive at the same time. This unique sound profile and the outstanding action of the Academy A4 mean it can be used for any kind of musical requirements, be it for personal use or as a working instrument for professional use. 

The design – A tribute to clarity

This tonal versatility has been purposely housed inside a design that represents a calm counterpoint: clean lines, understated, timeless, modern. This results in an overall package that embodies a truly consummate harmony and balance.
