Many people say Bösendorfer’s 130 CL model sounds like a grand piano; many think it is the best upright piano in the world

Naturally it benefits from all the expertise of our craftsmen just as the grand pianos do. By definition it has all the advantages of an upright piano over a grand piano: it is smaller and needs less space, it is easier to acquire and is more affordable. The precision installation of the mechanics is designed to deliver optimal playability and maximum control without loss of power transmission.

Beauty of sound cannot be measured in centimetres The 170 model, the smallest of Bösendorfer's grand pianos is specially designed for smaller living spaces – which means you can even enjoy the inimitably rich sound of a Bösendorfer at home. What does small mean however? This model weighs 314 kilograms and has dimensions of 146 x 170 centimetres. Built by hand using the highest-quality materials, the sound quality in the bass, in particular, and the range of tonal colours are exceptional for a piano of this size. Its action allows the fastest of repetitions and it has a very precise playing feel.

The 170 model is traditionally finished in highly polished black but can also be finished in a variety of veneers including bird's eye maple, burr walnut amboyna, rosewood, pyramid mahogany,pommele or any other desired finish

The most beautiful thing of all though, is it is “a Bösendorfer Grand Piano !”

The 185 model grand brings worlds together: The world of the home and the world of public performance. It creates a bridge between private space and public space. Why? Because it can; it is, quite simply, capable of creating this link – in terms of both construction and performance. Its dynamic features make it ideal for more intimate performances in front of a small audience, whilst its sonorous sound is the unmistakable hallmark of a member of the great house of Bösendorfer. That same expertise has gone into its development; the same expert hands that create the full concert grands have brought it to life.

Its responsive touch and unique tonal character mean you will experience some exquisite musical moments in the company of your friends.

Music schools love it. Conservatories love it. And who knows? Maybe you will learn to love it too. The 200 grand model has been enormously popular for more than fifty years. By creating it, Bösendorfer has produced a piano that clearly longs for its tonal and dynamic affinities to come under scrutiny alongside those of its “big brothers”, which is why it is so often the choice of professional teachers at conservatories and music schools. Its compact size means it is equally at home in a private space.

In playing terms, it has the famous, rich, moving Bösendorfer sound and everything else that makes a genuine Bösendorfer what it is: playability, superior quality workmanship and mechanical design in terms of repetition and stability, optimal use of materials to create the best sound possible and lasting value.

By constant contact with the world’s greatest pianists and most eminent conductors this has enabled us to draw up a detailed “wish list” for the concert grand model 280. This has made this profile a reality through a combination of many new technical developments and special respect for our great musical heritage. The Bösendorfer principle of construction views the entire instrument as a cohesive whole. This is what allows us to achieve our uniquely rich sound colours and characteristic singing timbre, of which our concert grand model 280 is living proof.

A new model created for the 21st century, the concert grand is multitalented. It can hold its own against the forces of a large orchestra yet has all the sensitivity required for an accompanying role in a chamber music setting. In the bass it has a clarity and fundamental tone that no instrument has achieved ever before. Tradition and innovation in association with the best pianists in the world: the stage is yours, and OURS!
