BÖSENDORFER

1828 - the year when Franz Schubert is buried next to Beethoven in Vienna. On the 25th of July, Ignaz Bösendorfer is officially granted the right to become a member of the prestigious Austrian instrument manufacturers guild in Vienna. This is the official founding date of what later will become Austria’s only remaining prime piano manufacturer, spreading colourfully brilliant piano notes worldwide.

The ethos of Bösendorfer goes back to 1828. Uncompromising, traditional handcrafting, beauty, and the Viennese soul, Bösendorfer constructs instruments concentrating on the use of spruce. More than 80% of the piano is made from spruce wood, ideal for instruments.

Very similar in principle to a violin the whole body - not exclusively the soundboard - supports sound formation. The actual core of the piano rim consists of a 10 mm quarter-sawn piece that is specially grooved by our craftsmen to allow it to be bent to the silhouette around the inner rim – this is unique to Bösendorfer. When a note is played, the integrated spruce components become acoustically active, forming a complete resonating body that allows the whole instrument to project
your playing. This complex construction is part of the Viennese tradition of piano playing.

UPRIGHTS

GRAND UPRIGHT 120

Bösendorfer has been not only setting new standards in building grand pianos but has transferred experience, tradition and know-how of decades of sophisticated craftsmanship to upright pianos.

The Bösendorfer Grand Upright 120 fits every room and unleashes voluminous Bösendorfer tones. Removing any obstacle to artistic expression and articulation Bösendorfer has designed an action with longer keys to optimise handling and touch.

Optionally, this Grand Upright can be equipped with the Bösendorfer Sound Release System providing two additional sound slots at the front panel. Unique dimensions, unique sound: the Bösendorfer Grand Upright 120.

GRAND UPRIGHT 130

The Bösendorfer 130 is indeed physically an upright piano, yet, surprises with subtle nuances and the powerful bass of a grand piano.

We have transferred refined craftsmanship and our sound philosophy in an upright form to this instrument. The precise action offers freedom in articulation and play with maximum controllability.

The grand sound of this upright is by no means a surprise since the very Bösendorfer Artisans building our Concert Grands design and craft the Bösendorfer Grand Upright 130, nearly two centuries of sound crafting experience.

GRAND PIANO 170VC

Ludwig Bösendorfer draws the first sketches of the Grand Piano 170 for the highly cultured salon society of Imperial Vienna. The result is an enchanting instrument for the private cheerful gatherings of the bourgeois and nobility. More than a century later, we carry on Ludwig Bösendorfer’s vision and grand heritage by integrating the VC technology. A true Bösendorfer Sound experience even after more than a century of music’s history.
