Optimal proportions with superb sound
With the C. Bechstein Residence R6 Style upright piano, our R&D department has realized a fascinating vision of versatility. Its imposing size and optimal proportions produce a volume that resonates in a music room, however large it might be. At the same time, it displays a wonderfully sophisticated, virtuosic character. The end result is a gentle giant, a grandiose companion with which to explore any genre of music.
Artful sound and touch
The touch and sound instantly exemplify the experience and principles of C. Bechstein grand piano construction which have flown into the Residence R6 Style upright piano, from construction to voicing. These merits notwithstanding, the Residence R6 Style has its imposing shape to thank for its radiance and voluminous sound. The optimised leverage in the action creates an exceptionally pleasing, professional touch and makes it possible to interpret a wide range of music genres.
A design brimming with self-confidence and elegance
Distinguished self-confidence is a hallmark of the Residence R 6 Style design: its stately size and elegantly rounded contours harmonise with loving fine details to produce a unique overall composition. Alternative finish options are available besides polished black – ask your dealer about availability in each case.
