In 1828, the young piano maker Ignaz Bösendorfer was awarded the trade permit by the city of Vienna "for manufacturing pianos and the right of citizen and master". His principle from the very beginning was to use only the highest quality material to build the ultimate hand crafted piano.

 

His son Ludwig Bösendorfer created the foundation for the company's strong commitment to closely collaborate with artists and support young talent - a tradition still carried on today. Bösendorfer continues to produce the world's most exceptional piano, using the same traditional methods of craftsmanship handed down and refined through generations of master piano builders.

 

A Bösendorfer piano represents not only unsurpassed quality and sound, but also a sound financial investment. A well-maintained Bösendorfer has historically appreciated in value, often outperforming other capital investment opportunities. The intrinsic value, as well as its craftsmanship and musicality, make the Bösendorfer a superior instrument sought after around the world.

 

Ultimately, a Bösendorfer enriches the lives of its owners, from legendary composers and pianists, to today's top international performing artists, students, teachers and music lovers of all ages and backgrounds. Bösendorfer: Unsurpassed in Sound, Design and Craftsmanship.
