The Craft of Bösendorfer

Austria’s sole remaining piano maker, Bösendorfer has been at the heart of Vienna’s cultural scene since 1828. Passionate about the craft of piano making, a Bösendorfer piano can take 6 years to complete and is always completed with the utmost care and dedication by the hands of Bösendorfer Artisans. Our in-house team of craftsmen at Coach House Pianos has been trained by Bösendorfer to provide clients with the very best aftercare when they purchase a Bösendorfer piano.

Resonance Case Principle

Very similar in principle to a violin, the whole body, not just the soundboard, supports sound formation. The core of the piano rim consists of a 10 mm quarter-sawn piece that is specially grooved by experienced 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 play and delivers an outstanding richness of tone colour. This complex construction is part of the Viennese tradition of piano making.
