Description
Germany has a great tradition of piano making. We go to the C Bechstein piano factory, which has been making instruments since 1853. Craftsmen have passed the traditions of piano making down from generation to generation. Bechstein only takes on three new apprentices a year. One of the latest recruits is Markus Heinze. This programme follows his development as he hones the skills needed to build some of the best pianos in the world.
