Reviews of C. Bechstein Centre Manchester Ltd

Fantastic music studio. I booked the Studio 1 to practice some piano music. As I am international student, I miss acoustic piano so much. I did tried to play on my friend's keyboard before, it was completely different. Here, is really a great place to enjoy. The piano is perfect. The only thing I think need improve is that if they could have a better absorption unit to lower a bit volume of the piano, that would be great I will definitely come again. Nice place 😊

Fantastic place and without a doubt the best arrays of pianos in the North! I went on Saturday for a 1 hour practice session. The piano was the best I’ve played, and I have played Steinways and the lot. The touch and sound was great. The actual showroom was unbelievable. Obviously there has huge investment into the place and it clearly shows. It is luxury and a great experience. The customer service was also 10/10 and they answered any questions I had. I will definitely be back one day to purchase one of my own hopefully in a few years time.

The facilities at the Bechstein Centre Manchester are excellent and the range of models on display is second to none. I booked Studio 1 for 3 hours. These new Bechstein pianos are a joy to play. Indeed, one leading technician I know rates them as the best on the market of all the big names in the industry, so I was keen to try one out. There is a kitchen area to make tea and coffee and there are excellent toilet facilities. The temperature regulation / air conditioning works well and is independent to each room. The staff are friendly and welcoming. So why then, you may ask, only a 4* as opposed to a 5 * rating? For me (and this is a purely personal view) a little more sound absorption in the rooms would help. These are powerful instruments and can be slightly over powering without a little extra help, especially for an extended period of time. Something simple like a rug under each piano may just do the trick. Finally, it is very good value for money and I will certainly book a studio again the next time I am in Manchester.

Absolutely amazing experience. Such a beautiful selection of pianos and practice rooms, you really won’t be disappointed! When I came here to a practice room, a lovely lady showed me stunning kitchen with ice cold water, tea, coffee etc which was a lovely surprise to renting a piano for an hour. The pianos in the practice rooms were first class, brand new and brand new state of the art sound proof rooms with air conditioning, lighting to suite and was just an amazing experience in general. Could not recommend more highly.

D. R.

Had a warm welcome on my recent visit. All staff very friendly and helpful. Sarah the Sales Manager was very patient and spent a great deal of time explaining options and the differences between models, as well as playing for me. I was given plenty of time to sit and play a few different pianos to see what I liked. Premises are superb with recital area and practice rooms for hire.

S. P.

I came down to Manchester from Edinburgh to accompany one of my singing students in an exam, ans booked one of the practise rooms here for us to have a run through on the day before. The staff are fantastically friendly and helpful! I was given a tour round the space before my booked rehearsal time, shown the different pianos and the full kitchen available for use by customers. The rehearsal room itself was excellent, with a beautiful piano to use, free WiFi and the ability to adjust the lighting and even heating in the room to your liking. I highly recommend booking rehearsal space here!

My 13 y.o. son used the practice rooms repeatedly when visiting Manchester with his grandmother. The Centre offers fantastic facilities and service, an impressive range of pianos, and value for money. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating - he was able to go and practise by himself, without an adult present, since the staff were so friendly and competent. He found it a great atmosphere for his studies, and enjoyed the friendly welcome he received returning day after day. We will definitely be using C. Bechstein Centre Manchester again!

Utterly gorgeous space. Don't be intimidated by the price tags you see through the window, it's well worth popping in and speaking to their friendly and helpful staff. With practise rooms available for £15 an hour and free monthly recitals it really is a great place for anyone who appreciates the magic of the piano!

J. E.

This is a fantastic provision for pianists and learners. It is an affordable chance of being able to play such beautiful pianos without parting with large sums of money. The staff are so friendly and helpful and you can make a lovely cup of tea or coffee at your leisure. If I lived nearer to Manchester, I would use their facilities incessantly.

M. B.

This is definitely one of the most stunning piano shops in the north west. They have a massive collection of beautiful pianos, laid out in an elegant and spacious showroom. The staff are incredibly informed and friendly, and were happy chatting and showing us around the place. They also do piano lessons, which I believe are very good value for money, and also monthly events, so please definitely check them out. They are very new here in Manchester, having opened in February. They are just a walk down Tib street, you can't miss it. So please do visit if you haven't already.

M. S.

The Bechstein Centre has a super range both upright and grand pianos. The showroom is superb along with practice rooms.

J. H.

The staff are very professional and polite. The piano’s are beautiful and the rooms block out outside sound so it’s great for recording. Reasonable prices to book a room. The atmosphere is calm and there’s water/tea/coffee to help yourself to. 10/10

B. R.

The new Bechstein Centre in Manchester is very impressive. I've visited a few times and also hosted an event in their excellent performance space. I also booked a practice room a few times, it's a really useful service for the pianists of Manchester with so many rooms available. The team are friendly and professional, special thanks to Stuart, Sarah for making us so welcome. Looking forward to being back soon!

J. M.

Excellent range of rehearsal spaces at affordable prices, easy to book and an absolute treat to be able to practise or rehearse on quality pianos. Staff are lovely and helpful and comes with free kitchen services for tea/coffee! Highly recommend.

A. R.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at the Bechstein centre in Manchester recently. The staff were incredibly welcoming and showed us the vast range of beautiful pianos and practice spaces. Special mention to Sarah who helped us with our questions. Will be visiting again very soon! Excellent work guys, thank you!

G. W.

What an amazing facility! I only have a digital keyboard at home, so the opportunity to practise for an hour on a grand piano is awesome. The pianos are superb and the facilities are well thought-out, with a kitchen and toilets near the practice studios. Whenever I visit Manchester, I'll definitely be booking a session.

N. T.

Went in for a 1 hour practice session in one of the practice studios. It is an easy location to get to and there was excellent service from the staff while I was there. The piano I played on was great, and the rooms are very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for piano practice studios.

A. G.

An amazing shop which is no doubt a paradise for pianists, also with bespoke rehearsal facilities. The Bechstein name has been significant for so many years, it is remarkable to compare all of the latest models, accompanied by expert tuning services in the heart of Manchester. Enjoyed my visit with very friendly staff and atmosphere.

S. U.

I visited the new C. Bechstein Centre in May and received a really warm welcome as well as given the opportunity to play on a few pianos, which was a wonderful experience. The staff have been so helpful (thank you Keith) for keeping me in touch with deals throughout this year as I have sought the right piano for me. Highly recommended both for advice as well as quality of product.

C. A.

I Highly recommend C.Bechstein Manchester. Friendly, accommodating and highly-knowledgeable staff, along with an amazing space to see all the pianos they have available. I have also used the practice rooms numerous times and it is by far the best in the city!

K. O.

I booked a practice room prior to a practical piano exam. The booking process was straight forward and on arrival I was shown around prior to my booked session. It is fantastic to have a dedicated practice facility in central Manchester with top quality grand pianos.

What a great team of people, very helpful and willing to demo any piano for us. A special thanks to Keith who helped us narrow down the huge choice on offer. Very professional, beautiful showroom, and lovely pianos our choice came down to a Concert 8 and a Bösendorfer 130.

H. L.

Went to check out their pianos a few times and booked their studio practice rooms for quite a few times. Very neat and spacious inside their brand new showroom and staff called Sarah is especially helpful with things. Definitely worth a visit even if you have not decided to buy their pianos yet. Located right next to some nice dine-out places in Northern Quarter (as well as near Ancoat) with carparks not far away.

#practicestudio highly recommended for any vocal teacher who needs to develop their skill as a teacher, and their clientele in a state of the art studio that is affordable. With great facilities, good lighting, air condition that you can personally regulate, all within a good space. Can't forget the kindness and hospitality of those at the reception desk, who have been amazing.

E. W.

It was an absolute dream working with Sarah and the team. Within days we had the most beautiful piano sorted for a very particular location. Experience was totally seamless and we will definitely use these guys as our go-to for any piano hire.

G. G.

Lovely venue for our summer piano concert! The staff is fantastic - helpful and friendly, and the quality of the pianos is amazing. I highly recommend C. Bechstein Centre for concerts or practice sessions.

R. M.

Best piano shop in Uk! We were stunned by the architecture of this piano temple as soon as we walked in. Its purpose-built design complemented the sounds of all the pianos we tried and definitely contributed to our decision to buy in the end. We were treated to cups of tea on a trolley - we felt like celebrities. 6* service! Sarah the sales manager was incredibly helpful and friendly and the other staff members were also welcoming; we enjoyed chatting about piano repertoire and film music. It was a real privilege to be able to play a little bit on the Bechstein D282. Sarah gave us a fantastic offer, one which we were unable to refuse. After a smooth and professional delivery organised by the team, we are now delighted with our Hoffmann grand piano. The touch is so responsive and we love its crystalline, balanced and tasteful European sound.

E. T.

What a lovely treat! I booked a practice room for a couple of hours, was given a little tour on arrival, free tea/coffee. Room was fab, piano was fab. I'll be back soon :D

r. b.

I have visited the Bechstein Centre on a few occasions. Recently to watch a couple of recitals. These have been superb, especially the recent Havisham trio recital which was exceptional. A very intimate performance in a wonderful space. Very much looking forward to more in the months to come.

Y. P.

In all my years of practice-rooming, never have I experienced such a comfortable place to do good work. Friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms, and excellent pianos (not just trashed ones no good for selling as you see in so many other places!)

W. Y.

This is the brilliant place to practice piano, with the best service, the best environment, and for sure the best piano to use.

E. S.

Brilliant showroom, first rate class! Torben shows a deep understanding of Bechstein pianos, and also of the nature of our businesses, working mostly on older instruments. Thank you!

H. M.

Unexpectedly stumbled upon this showroom. Very spacious, excellent range of instruments and facilities, very comfortable space to practice. Lessons available with piano tutor.

Y. W.

Spectacular, impressive and elegant! Beautifully appointed, friendly and polite staff. If you want a piano, or just want to oooogle, definitely recommend!

p. y.

it's a very nice place for holding a mini recital here. venue is gorgeous and a kitchen area is available serving refreshment.

K. F.

I booked the studio for practice for the first time and what a wonderful experience it was to. A very warm welcoming greeting by Sarah who also showed me around and the facilities available during your booked session. Highly recommend, not to mention the amazing sound of the grand piano. Will be booking again ! 👍🏻

R. J.

A very interesting visit to an impressive showroom. All the instruments my wife wanted to try were available for her to play as long as she wanted and Keith the sales person was on hand for assistance when we needed it. If you're interested in high quality pianos, a visit is recommended.

C. T.

Wow, quite a place. First up, a lovely welcome from Keith and Sarah, who are friendly and engaging. I used one of the grand piano practise rooms which are spot on, and they have plenty of them. Monthly recital events too. Highly recommend.

J. C.

This is one of the most beautiful and impressive shops in Manchester comparable to the best music stores in London and other global cities. The showroom is spacious and elegant and the break-out rooms are of the highest quality. The location between Market Street and the Northern Quarter is excellent. Overall a fantastic shopping experience!

P. R.

As a local person wanting an opportunity to practice on a glorious bechstein grand piano I absolutely adore this place. The practice studios are totally private and the instruments are a dream. If I had a little more cash in the bank I would definitely buy one of the pianos from the showroom too!

L. F.

I have been using the studio space at The Bechstein centre for teaching purposes over the last few months. The staff at Bechstein are welcoming and helpful and the centre is extremely well equipped. I would definitely recommend!

U. C.

This is an amazing piano showroom, with great practice facilities. I hired a soundproofed room with a lovely grand piano for a very reasonable price. The staff were also very helpful and friendly! Highly recommend a visit to check this place out.

R. M.

I recently bought a Bechstein Elegance 124 for my daughter. Thanks to Keith for his patience and expertise, amazing show room and piano selection. Excellent experience and service. The piano is absolutely wonderful, thank you.

M. N.

Wonderfully presented showroom with exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly staff. It also has 6 practice rooms and a live performance area for recitals and concerts which is such a bonus for the city.

I was there today and the experience is unbelievable. Studio rooms are amazing and the sound of Bechstein pianos is another world.

B. A.

A really impressive space which is more than just a showroom. Sarah, Lottie and all of the staff are all incredibly welcoming and informative. Hired one of the practice rooms and had a lovely time. A piano lover's haven.

E. S.

Lottie stepped in to help when I was let down by another dealer, and I am now the proud owner of a beautiful upright. Delivery and service all excellent!

L. F.

Absolutely love teaching out of the practise studios at the C. Bechstein Centre in Manchester. Along with the stunning centre itself, the entire team are very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend to any Manchester musicians!

Awesome facilities beautifully presented. Friendly knowledgable staff, excellent instruments. Thoroughly enjoyed working, playing, practicing here.

I attended a recent recital here by a young woman, Kelly Yip. Very enjoyable. The piano soundstage has a very well damped and neutral sound and it's a real pleasure to experience.

L. A.

Very impressive showroom; the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. It feels very reassuring to be guided by experienced and qualified musicians. In short, fantastic range at affordable prices

A beautiful, prestigious place for me to rehearse. It will now be my regular rehearsal space. Also surprised at how affordable the room is. Thank you for opening such an amazing rehearsal space.

I am a Vocal Coach based in Manchester and have been so excited for C. Bechstein to open. The staff are beyond helpful and a extremely accommodating.

G. C. C.

Very impressive showroom and facilities . Sarah Lockett , the sales manager was very informative and gave me and George a great tour of the shop l and practise rooms. Thanks again,

H. G.

Came here today to play the piano and sing in their studio rooms and it couldn’t have been better , firstly £15 an hour to play in a soundproofed room here is a bargain and best price I’ve found in Manchester for anything similar but for the extraordinary grand piano, helpful, polite, accommodating staff and the luxurious experience I could not recommend more.
