贝希斯坦—顶级立式钢琴调音札记

    

应邀前往位于曼哈顿第五大道隔壁的街区调音一架C. Bechstein 在德国制造的立式琴。查阅资料得知贝希斯坦工厂在1920年代恢复了全面生产。当时的新材料和工具的技术创新和发明，以及钢琴设计和构造的改进，使贝希斯坦成为媲美施坦威钢琴暨领先世界的钢琴制造商之一。

    

多年了非常遗憾的就是没有游历过欧洲的钢琴制造基地，据说贝希斯坦钢琴拥有自己的质量控制体系，其中严格控制每一台钢琴的质量即使是最便宜的贝希斯坦钢琴立式琴也有着最高规格的品质。贝希斯坦的立式钢琴Model-8和Model-9这两种钢琴都被认为是最好的立式钢琴。

    

维基百科是这样介绍的：性价比在顶级立式钢琴中算是比较高的贝希斯坦还生产另外两个品牌：W.霍夫曼(德语：W. Hoffmann)由贝希斯坦设计，由位于捷克共和国赫拉德茨克拉洛韦的贝希斯坦欧洲工厂制造。另一个品牌是齐默尔曼(德语：Zimmermann)齐默尔曼钢琴由C. Bechstein设计，并由位于中国宁波的海伦钢琴公司工厂制造。

    

此次我打开琴盖的瞬间就被令人信服的质量标准所震撼，各种材质的组合及非常细微的优美工艺的确是我很少看到的。由于是小批量生产，使用的工艺和合理设计融合了最现代的理念及舒适的弹奏感。许多钢琴作品例如李斯特的《魔王》瓦格纳的《婚礼进行曲》都与这个活着的传奇品牌贝希斯坦有关。

    

作为调音师所讲述的依然是最重要的就是贝希斯坦的音色，其中我不想多提什么具有高贵、多彩、优雅、和谐的声音及高度专业的触感和独特的温暖、纯净、丰富等……这些常规的表述和售价。有一点是我此次调音过程中发现的最大不同就是这架立式琴的音色层次感非常棒，绝不逊色于三角钢琴及高于其它品牌立式琴。我多年来梦想之中的具有平衡音色感及清晰的高、中、低区域感的立式钢琴就是今天遇到的这款顶级品牌-贝希斯坦。

Invited to tune an upright piano made in Germany by C. Bechstein in the neighborhood next to Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. According to the information, the Bechstein factory resumed full production in the 1920s. The technological innovation and invention of new materials and tools at that time, as well as the improvement of piano design and construction, made Bechstein one of the world's leading piano manufacturers comparable to Steinway pianos. It is a pity that I have not visited the piano manufacturing base in Europe for many years. It is said that Bechstein pianos have their own quality control system, which strictly controls the quality of each piano. Even the cheapest Bechstein piano uprights have the same quality. Quality of the highest specification. Bechstein's Upright Piano Model-8 and Model-9 These two pianos are considered the best upright pianos. ?

Wikipedia introduces it like this: Bechstein, whose cost performance is relatively high among the top upright pianos, also produces two other brands: W. Hoffmann (German: W. Hoffmann) is designed by Bechstein and is located in the Czech Republic. Manufactured at Bechstein's European factory in Hradec Kralove. Another brand is Zimmermann (German: Zimmermann). Zimmermann pianos were designed by C. Bechstein and manufactured by the Hailun Piano Company factory in Ningbo, China. The moment I opened the cover this time, I was shocked by the convincing quality standards. The combination of various materials and very subtle and beautiful craftsmanship is indeed something I rarely see. Because it is produced in small batches, the craftsmanship and rational design used combine the most modern concepts and comfortable playing feeling. Many piano works such as Liszt's "The Devil" and Wagner's "Wedding March" are related to this living legendary brand Bechstein. ?

As a tuner, the most important thing is still the sound of Bechstein. Among them, I don’t want to mention the noble, colorful, elegant, harmonious sound, highly professional touch and unique warmth, purity, richness, etc... …these regular presentations and selling prices. One thing is that the biggest difference I found during the tuning process this time is that the timbre layering of this upright piano is very good, not inferior to grand pianos and higher than other brands of upright pianos. The upright piano with balanced tone and clear sense of high, middle and low regions that I have dreamed of for many years is this top brand Bechstein I encountered today.
