Bosendorfer

 

Bosendorfer is the most prestigious and finely crafted piano. They can claim both to be one of the world’s eldest piano manufacturers and the most slowly built piano. Since 1828 they have shared the stage with the finest composers and performers in classical music. One famous musician had this to say…

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers; Me personally, I try to sound like a Boesendorfer. - Placido Domingo

Ignaz Bösendorfer’s philosophy was, "A grand piano should have a tone that is more reminiscent of a stringed instrument rather than of a percussion instrument..." He achieved this “singing tonality” because 85% of the wood is violin- quality spruce. The Fiemme Valley wood is air dried and aged outdoors for 5 years. In today’s world of robotized construction and kiln drying ovens, Bosendorfer harkens us back to a time when the artisan built tone, not just pianos.

Bosendorfer has released a series of CS pianos for music conservatories. These pianos are in much the same price range as the Steinway grand piano. Michelle’s feels there is no need to settle when you can own Europe’s crown jewel.

For those who desire the fantastic; Bosendorfer offers the Special Edition Models, or the CEUS player system. With exotic veneers, baroque inlay, carved filigree, a range of architectural designs and legendary musicality, you can design your own magnum opus.

Michelle stocks the entire gambit of Bosendorfer’s offerings---including the astounding (9’6”) Imperial Concert Grand. We invite you to experience them; but be warned, once you experience the tone and control of the Bosendorfer, other perfectly good pianos will be less satisfying.
