I've had this lovely Bechstein 7 for nearly three years now, have moved house with it (very scary!) but it has stayed in tune with regular tuning. I threw caution to the wind and bought it for £4750. I've enjoyed every minute. Sometimes it pays to take a risk.................x

Thanks guys- this is all getting a bit too technical - you should get out more!! There is a guanantee with it and a tuner will come and retune it again after it has been moved. I can adjust the flute tuning if it slips a bit. It will only be played in my house- not the Bridgwater Hall.............. ...

Yes it will be guaranteed as it's in a piano showroom (established 20 years) The proprietor is a tuner and restorer. I'm going to take my flute to check the tuning.

I'll have a good look at it tomorrow and play it properly. From what I saw the other day it's had quite a lot of work done on it. Thanks again for replying,

Thanks for that. Is this a good model do you think?

I am thinking about buying a Bechstein upright model 7 dated 1906. I have played it and love the feel of it. The rosewood casing is in very good condition and it has been fully restored. Is this a good buy (for under ?5000?) I need to make sure that it will stay in tune with a flute as I will be usi...
