ChenYN Piano Tuner 陳師傅調音---貝希斯坦頂級立式鋼琴調音劄記

貝希斯坦—頂級立式鋼琴調音劄記

    

應邀前往位於曼哈頓第五大道隔壁的街區調音一架C. Bechstein 在德國製造的立式琴。查閱資料得知貝希斯坦工廠在1920年代恢複了全麵生產。當時的新材料和工具的技術創新和發明，以及鋼琴設計和構造的改進，使貝希斯坦成為媲美施坦威鋼琴暨領先世界的鋼琴製造商之一。

    

多年了非常遺憾的就是沒有遊曆過歐洲的鋼琴製造基地，據說貝希斯坦鋼琴擁有自己的質量控製體係，其中嚴格控製每一台鋼琴的質量即使是最便宜的貝希斯坦鋼琴立式琴也有著最高規格的品質。貝希斯坦的立式鋼琴Model-8和Model-9這兩種鋼琴都被認為是最好的立式鋼琴。

    

維基百科是這樣介紹的：性價比在頂級立式鋼琴中算是比較高的貝希斯坦還生產另外兩個品牌：W.霍夫曼(德語：W. Hoffmann)由貝希斯坦設計，由位於捷克共和國赫拉德茨克拉洛韋的貝希斯坦歐洲工廠製造。另一個品牌是齊默爾曼(德語：Zimmermann)齊默爾曼鋼琴由C. Bechstein設計，並由位於中國寧波的海倫鋼琴公司工廠製造。

    

此次我打開琴蓋的瞬間就被令人信服的質量標準所震撼，各種材質的組合及非常細微的優美工藝的確是我很少看到的。由於是小批量生產，使用的工藝和合理設計融合了最現代的理念及舒適的彈奏感。許多鋼琴作品例如李斯特的《魔王》瓦格納的《婚禮進行曲》都與這個活著的傳奇品牌貝希斯坦有關。

    

作為調音師所講述的依然是最重要的就是貝希斯坦的音色，其中我不想多提什麽具有高貴、多彩、優雅、和諧的聲音及高度專業的觸感和獨特的溫暖、純淨、豐富等……這些常規的表述和售價。有一點是我此次調音過程中發現的最大不同就是這架立式琴的音色層次感非常棒，絕不遜色於三角鋼琴及高於其它品牌立式琴。我多年來夢想之中的具有平衡音色感及清晰的高、中、低區域感的立式鋼琴就是今天遇到的這款頂級品牌-貝希斯坦。

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.
