Discover Legendary Used Bösendorfer Pianos
Experience the exceptional craftsmanship of pre-owned Bösendorfer pianos, handcrafted in Vienna, Austria since 1828. Often called the "Rolls Royce of Pianos," Bösendorfer represents nearly 200 years of Viennese piano-making tradition, creating instruments that produce a warm, brilliantly colorful sound unlike any other piano in the world.
The Bösendorfer Difference: Viennese Craftsmanship
Bösendorfer is the world's oldest premium piano manufacturer still in operation, and every instrument reflects uncompromising dedication to perfection. Unlike other piano makers, Bösendorfer constructs instruments using their unique Resonance Case Principle, where over 80% of the piano consists of carefully selected spruce wood from the Austrian Alps. Similar to a violin, the entire body becomes acoustically active when played, creating outstanding richness of tone color and Bösendorfer's legendary pure, brilliant sound.

Exceptional Materials and Construction
Every Bösendorfer piano takes up to one year to handcraft, using only the finest materials regardless of cost. All wood is air-dried naturally for 3-5 years, never kiln dried, ensuring superior tonal stability and longevity. The solid spruce outer rim construction—unique to Bösendorfer—adds substantially to the instrument's cost but produces the distinctive warm tone that discerning pianists prize.
Bösendorfer's commitment to excellence extends to every detail, from the brass content in hinges to the removable capo bar design that enhances treble clarity. Each instrument represents the work of highly trained artisans who progress through rigorous apprenticeship programs before being certified to craft these extraordinary pianos.
The Imperial Legacy: Extended Keyboard Models
In 1900, Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni commissioned Bösendorfer to create a piano capable of performing Bach's organ transcriptions. The result was the legendary Bösendorfer Imperial 290, featuring 97 keys spanning a full 8 octaves instead of the standard 88. This innovation produces an almost orchestral sound experience with deeper bass resonance and wider tonal possibilities.
Investment in Musical Excellence
Used Bösendorfer pianos retain exceptional value and continue to appreciate over time. Whether you're seeking a vintage 5-foot parlor grand from the early 1900s or a more recent Model 200 concert instrument, pre-owned Bösendorfer pianos offer professional musicians, serious students, and collectors an opportunity to own Vienna's finest craftsmanship at accessible prices.
From the concert hall to the luxury residence, Bösendorfer pianos transform spaces into personal performance venues, delivering the rich, resonant sound and aesthetic beauty that have made them the preferred choice of legendary pianists for nearly two centuries
