June 1 - Carl Bechstein (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Series)

Carl Bechstein (1 June 1826 – 6 March 1900) was an important piano manufacturer.
[For last year's verse on Mikhail Glinka click here.]

Amused

Carl Bechstein sold a grand

  Piano to Victoria,

Who gravely looked it over and,

  Evincing no euphoria,

Asked if others were on hand

  For sale at his emporia,

And doing so she sparked demand

  From Glasgow to Pretoria.
