Built in Bechstein's German Factory alongside their C. Bechstein professional models, these Academy pianos are slightly cheaper. For example the case parts are more mass produced to keep the price down, but the soundboard, strings and hammers are still of the same quality as in the C. Bechstein pianos.

Hoffmann Tradition pianos are manufactured in Bechstein's Czech factory, but with handbuilt soundboards from their German factory.With better quality hammers,strings and agraffes in the design, these must be the best value European built pianos on the market.
