The Magic of a Bosendorfer Piano
Bösendorfer is the oldest piano manufacturer within the premium segment.
This prestigious company dates back to 1828, yet to this day all Bösendorfer grands share the same fundamental features in the way they are crafted. It’s this devotion to detail that separates them from other brands and results in the unique Bösendorfer DNA – a warm yet brilliantly colourful sound.
Whether you play the Bösendorfer concert grand or a grand upright, each instrument is crafted with utmost care and dedication at the hands of Bösendorfer artisans.
Handcrafted in Austria
Austria’s only remaining piano manufacturer, it is the enduring quality of Bosendorfer pianos that ensures they are not just an object of investment but of value.
A complex construction process that refuses to be rushed – it takes skilled artisans up to 6 years to craft a Bösendorfer grand – it is this dedication that reveals the inner beauty of the Bosendorfer pianos’ sound, unique in colour, dynamics, and expression. A personal touch and a sense of quality that you will sense from the moment you begin to play.
With an instrument from this piano powerhouse, you can expect generations of enjoyment. Austrian quality, Viennese soul.
What makes a Bösendorfer so special?
Naturally Wood
The basis of each Bösendorfer Grand is spruce that is naturally dried by air and has proven to be the ideal tone wood. Integrated spruce components make up more than 80% of their instruments, which is more than any other manufacturer.
The Austrian spruce has to be grown at a minimum of 800 meters above sea level, guaranteeing a very dense and regular grain structure. When you add the natural drying process to the manufacturing time, it actually takes 6 years until the Bösendorfer Grand arrives at your doorstep.
Hand Spun Bass
All bass strings are spun in the unique Bösendorfer way. A steel core string is the basis for 1 or 2 layers of copper. The carefully spun strings are a substantial element of the warm and sonorous Bösendorfer bass.
Independent Capo d’Astro
Bösendorfer is the only piano manufacturer that applies a detachable and independent Capo d’Astro in the upper register. This is how they assure the most precise adjustment in the upper register, guaranteeing the original Bösendorfer sound for generations.
Traditional Sand Cast
Bösendorfer uses traditional sand casting to forge the frame. The raw frames, produced in Austria, rest for 6 months outside the factory. This is how all inner tensions of the forging process are released allowing the frame to remain relaxed under 20 tons of string tension. Pure stability.
Your Imagination Built
The exclusive production of close to 300 instruments per year allows Bösendorfer to meet individual requests and cater for individual artistic expression, whether you would like to apply precious veneers, your favourite colour or an emblem designed by yourself and carefully engraved by master artisans – anything is possible. A Bösendorfer instrument as extraordinary as you are.

How much does a Bösendorfer cost?
There’s no point beating about the bush – a Bösendorfer is an expensive piano.
With each grand model some six years in the making it’s no real surprise that they typically retail upwards of £100k.
If that’s a little more than you’d budgeted for, you can enjoy the same musical excellence from a grand upright. These are lighter on the pocket and tend to start from £38k.
At Richard Lawson Pianos, we pride ourselves on always offering fair and competitive pricing. We also have a range of finance options available – please get in touch to find out more.
Is a Bösendorfer similar to a Steinway?
Bösendorfer and Steinway pianos are often compared.
Sitting within the upper echelons of piano manufacturing, both brands are recognised for producing pianos that are a feast for the senses – looking every bit as beautiful as they sound.
Both are exquisite, but it is perhaps within the sound that the biggest differences can be found.
A Steinway is more even in tone, making it versatile and a good choice for everything from classical music to more modern genres. A Bösendorfer offers a more robust bass range whilst still being incredibly impressive in treble. It also boasts a fast action.
As with all things, the right choice largely comes down to personal preference and playing style and we’d highly recommend visiting our showroom to try out models from both manufacturers. Alternatively, if you’d like to talk in more detail about the differences between the two, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team directly.
Should you buy a Bösendorfer grand piano or an upright piano?
There’s no right or wrong here. The good news is, both make an excellent choice.
Key points to consider include your budget (you can expect a grand piano to cost more) and the amount of space you have to position your instrument (an upright grand will dramatically reduce the instrument’s footprint).
If you’re unsure which way to jump, our best advice would be to book a visit to our showroom so you can see, feel, and hear the differences for yourself. It’s also a great opportunity to chat with our in-house experts, who will be happy to answer any questions and help you make the best choice for your needs.
