	Ludwig Bechstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig Bechstein (November 24, 1801 - May 14, 1860) was a German writer and collector of folk fairy tales.
		He was born in Weimar, the illegitimate child of Johanna Carolina Dorothea Bechstein and Hubert Dupontreau, a French emigrant who disappeared even before the birth of the child, and Ludwig thus grew up his first nine years in very poor economic conditions.
		Bechstein published many works and was a successful author of his time.

	Myotis bechsteinii - Bechstein's Bat
		Bechstein's bats are very rare, and most recorded sightings have been in winter.
		You may be lucky enough to see Bechstein's bats beside coniferous, mixed or deciduous woodland, where they feed on moths, beetles and other flying insects.
		Bechstein's bats are sometimes found in underground roosting sites in Britain during the winter, where they hang freely.

	Berceuse for Bechstein
		From the company's foundation in 1856 in Berlin until the Second World War the Bechstein piano played a major role in European musical life, from concert halls to the salons of patrons and socialites, from the studios of famous artists and teachers to the practise rooms of students.
		The Bechstein's more delicate nuances and shallower, slower action-response made it less suitable too for the new virtuoso techniques which composer-pianists such as Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev, were developing; and, in addition, the recording studios had discovered that the clearer tone of the Steinway was more suitable for their ever-improving techniques.
		So unfortunately the baby was thrown out with the Bechstein, and an unswimmable gulf was formed between the professional pianist and the now passive audience member, a gulf which has deeply affected concert life over the last few decades and seriously threatens its future, as audience numbers decrease steadily.

		Bechstein grand piano lids are stunning in their beauty of finish, be they satin or high gloss wood, be they satin or high gloss polyester.
		But the true value of the Bechstein lids is in their interior: a series of solid wood boards are glued together to form a light weight, yet stable board, sealed on both surfaces and on all edges by numerous layers of superior veneers.
		The Bechstein acoustic body Concert 8 is the closest to the absolute ideal of piano sonority, it thereby presents an invitation for the interpreter's most contrasting styles of music.

		Moreover, the Bechstein's roost is only the third confirmed such colony in the UK and by far the largest.
		For the Bechstein's, in particular, which are females with young to feed, having a continuous source of nutritious food readily available close-by is critical, if they are to succeed in raising their young and in being able to ensure the survival of the species.
		Bechstein's bats have always been very difficult to study, so a whole of range of techniques will have to be employed, including some that are very new and only just becoming available.

		During that time, Bechstein failed to disclose to investors that the offering was not extended past June 30, 1994; that investors' funds were not returned; and that Towne Bancorp, thus, had a significant outstanding liability.

		Although the Bechstein bat was sited in Branesti, the Branesti site is not a viable site for conservation efforts for the Bechstein bat since only one bat was sited at that location.
		Tiganca, which is the only other site at which Bechstein's bat has been sited, proves to be the only realistic site for conservation efforts, since Tiganca is the only site where hibernating Bechstein bats have been found.
		In addition to Bechstein's bat, the reserve holds the largest colony of pond bats in Moldova.

		The action seems to be in excellent condition and there is evidence that it has had some recent restoration work done to it as all the action parts look to be excellent condition (see photos).
		Some pianos of this era have very tired actions but this Bechstein is fine in that regard.
