This ‘Walter Cave’  upright piano is an overstrung 85-note Model IV with a full cast iron frame and internal underdamping. The casework features light shade holders, with working light bulbs, and ornate brass hinges.

The basic nameplate, also of brass, is embossed “C • BECHSTEIN BERLIN •”. The action is light/medium and the instrument has that rich, warm Bechstein tone.
