I'm not real familiar with the models you are talking about since I haven't really shopped for an upright Bechstein or Kawai, but you may want to research where that piano was made. Samick has been the major shareholder in Bechstein for quite some time now and I'm pretty sure most if not all of the verticals are made in Asia. Figured I'd throw that in there in case you think its one of the great Euros of yesteryear. Its been a few years, but I've read that the uprights are Asian and the grands are still European.
