Vienna is undoubtedly one of the world capitals of music. It is the home of the waltz and the operetta, and nowhere else have more famous composers lived. Even today, the spirit of composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, the Strauss family, Johannes Brahms and Gustav Mahler can be felt on every street corner. What's more, some 10,000 music lovers listen to live classical music in Vienna every night - something you won't find in any other city in the world!
From now on, C. Bechstein is part of the vibrant Viennese musical life
For C. Bechstein it is therefore a matter of the heart to be represented with its own piano store in the metropolis on the Danube. Since June 2023, the C. Bechstein Centrum Wien has been welcoming its visitors in a central location at Linke Wienzeile 4, directly on the Naschmarkt and only a few steps away from the exhibition building of the Vienna Secession. Here, the 170-year tradition of manufacturing high-quality grand and upright pianos is combined with the city's historical significance and vibrant musical life.
Go on a sound journey in an inspiring atmosphere
The C. Bechstein Centrum Vienna offers a large selection of upright and grand pianos - from beginner's instruments to concert grands - from the three brands C. Bechstein, W. Hoffmann and Zimmermann on 300 square meters. CASIO digital pianos are also available.
The architecturally high quality furnishings create a pleasant and inspiring atmosphere. The rooms are inviting, well-lit, and offer visitors a comfortable and inviting environment for discovery, audition, and in-depth consultation. In addition, the acoustics of the rooms are designed to enhance the sound quality of the instruments. Small, intimate concerts in the concert shell will continue to contribute to Vienna's vibrant musical life.
Best advice from trained pianists
Dr. Walther Steindlegger, head of the center, and Magister Darya Volkova are both trained pianists. They are happy to advise visitors on the purchase and rental of grand and upright pianos, respond to individual requests and competently answer all questions about playing the piano.
"We welcome anyone who is interested in playing the piano, whether they are a beginner or a professional. Each customer is unique, and the journey with them to their dream instrument is something very special. We are not salespeople in the traditional sense, but see ourselves as companions on a wonderful journey. After all, you don't buy a piano that often in your life," says Dr. Walther Steindlegger.
