Why Bösendorfer? 

Although smaller in size, this piano is by no means small in sound! The 170VC is a new, clean-sheet design (unrelated to the previous 170) launched in June 2018 at the Bosendorfer worldwide launch in Vienna.  This brand new design is a vast improvement from its predecessor and we could not be more excited!

Boesendorfer has always been renowned for its warm and rich Viennese sound and the new Vienna Concert line preserves this but adds extra dimensions to its capabilities.  The VC instruments have a noticeably wider and more accessible dynamic range, greatly improved sustain - particularly noticeable in the treble, improved clarity and projection whilst maintaining warmth. 

These characteristics make the piano suitable for the widest range of repertoire and it is instantly accessible to the pianist - even if they are not experienced with Bosendorfer instruments.

All this has been made possible by the sophisticated advances in the design and construction that utilised sophisticated scientific modelling and measuring technology.

Background

Founded in Vienna by Ignaz and Ludwig Bösendorfer in 1828, Bösendorfer are one of the oldest piano manufacturers in the world, and also one of the most exclusive, making only a few hundred instruments each year. 

Bösendorfer grand pianos are unlike any other as they are built with Bösendorfer's unique resonance case principle. Using a similar principle to the way in which a violin produces its sound, the whole body of the piano, and not just the soundboard, becomes acoustically active, providing richness of tone colour and producing Bösendorfer's legendary pure sound.

Main Features:

• Handmade in Austria
• New Scale design and iron frame casting to improve consistency and energy retention (projection)
• Newly developed concept for the acoustical assembly
• Integrated ring-type soundboard base that enables extremely precisely customised 3-dimensional crowning of the soundboard.
• Independent and adjustable Capo d'astro, to improve sound quality in the treble
• Hand-spun bass strings
• Numerous design measures
• OPen pin-block showing off a beautiful walnut veneer which adds so much class to the design. 

Dimensions:

Length -170cm

Width - 157cm

Weight - 328kg
