Bechstein E?

[Porritt, David]

I used to tune a < 20-year old EN.  I had thought it was the logical
successor to the E.  The only E I've seen was pretty old.

Hello list,

 

Anyone know when the Bechstein 'E' was discontinued?  I have certainly
come across 2 model 'D's in my tuning career and one of them was the
best Bechstein I have ever tuned or played. We are inundated with
Bechsteins in UK, most of them pretty tired!  It was in light mahogany
with 'gate' legs and a rounded tail.  I suspect 1920's.  The length
would have been in the 8ft range.  A stunning piano!  Any other
sightings of this model?
