NB: This piano was made after 1975 and has ivory keys. Due to new regulations, the ivory keys will have to be removed if we sell the piano.
We've been pleased to have had six Bosendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos including this one, which is highly refined and is certainly as good as any new piano.
Finely restored used pianos are often the choice of concert pianists; for example, in the 1980s, Horowitz took a 1911 Steinway concert grand around the world with him.

OMG, the sound on that piano is DELICIOUS.
Yes! Bösendorfer make pianos so good that you can even taste the sound!!! 🤣
I had the WNG action installed in my NY Steinway B and I love it. 7 years out with daily playing and the regulation basing changes a bit. It’s amazingly fluid and responsive. The consistency and control is unmatched
Finally someone who knows how to demonstrate a fine piano.
Wessell, Nickle and Gross is the same carbon-fiber action used on newer Mason & Hamlins.
Thank you for your video(s), Markus, as usual.
It caught my attention that you've mentioned Rubinstein vs Horowitz in terms of their action weight preferences. My theory of the latter preferring an extra-light action (confirmed by pianists who've played his own piano after his passing away) is three-fold. First, Horowitz was gifted with a rather extreme digital physique that allowed him to play prestissimo passages pianissimo. Second, he played with straight fingers extended further into the keys, so he needed a lighter action to compensate for the paucity of leverage. And third, from his childhood all the way through his graduation from the Kyiv Conservatory he had played almost exclusively patent action Blüthners (there was good reason for it); and even though later in the US he became a Steinway pianist, he might be inclined to tune his piano to more or less emulate the touch sensitivity he had gotten used to. Of course, all of the above are my (hopefully, somewhat reasonable) speculations.
WOW, the sound is so beautiful and melodic, the sustain and resonance is incredible!!
The sounds throughout the entire piano is absolutely fantastic! Warm, yet exciting!
I've had the pleasure to work on and tune an imperial. They respond very beautifully and is my dream piano.
Wonderful acoustics
It is a great pleasure for me to see this great sounding instrument from Vienna! I'm always amazed with the expertise, accuracy, precision, material knowledge and commitment "you kiss" all these "lost" pianos back to life. It's more than an affair of the heart. This Bösendorfer Imperial is one such example of a Roberts restoration!
Dear Mister Roberts: Listening and watching your many performances on these various pianos that have passed through your hands, you have given me wonderful minutes time and time again! Thank you very much for that! My best wishes and recommendations from the bottom of my heart! An admirer of your piano building skills from Vienna! -Stay safe and healthy! -
PS: If you have the opportunity to hear András Schiff in the Wigmore Hall, that would be my recommendation! He likes to play not only in the Wigmore Hall, but also in the "Golden Hall" on a Bösendorfer Grand Piano in Vienna!

Ce piano sonne merveilleusement.
What a beautiful piano
Just beautiful.
Beautiful!
Just your ordinary neighborhood piano shop . . . 💙 Wow what a delightful surprise to see the WNG action in there. Vienna and Sacramento partnership.
I don't usually salivate at the sight of a piano, but this one got me going. 🤤
Lovely piano indeed.
I've tuned Bosendorfer before and I'd love to tune this one: the tuning would put this instrument's character and resonance on steroids. It's a very beautiful instrument and interesting to see the fishtail end rather like the wonderful sounding Bechsteins of the 1880s so admired for their musicality.
Where did you learn to tune pianos? I’d like to learn.
magnificent.
Stunner.
my dream piano pretty much
You can get one!
I recently bought a Blüthner modell 1 (concert) for under 34.000€
@@cdllc1956 Oh okay, cheaper than i expected, thanks. The problem is i'm living in an appartment so i can't really own a grand piano right now
@@Sasty Oh that sucks! I hope you will get this piano at some point in time
@@cdllc1956 Thanks!
@@Sasty Yee good luck !

Wished I lived in the UK!
Great options for purchasing a piano.
Where I am in USA - S. FL . Yamaha and Chinese brands are about the only options. I've been watching for a great European brand for some time.
That is one gorgeous baby!
Has it been rebuilt by Hurstwood Farm? A lovely piano indeed.
May I ask who the restorer was and or the company/business?
The carbon fiber action parts are something that Kawai brought into vogue from my understanding. Although Ive heard others say there's no difference in terms of feel, for some reason other manufacturers don't seem to have gotten on board. Any reason why from your perspective? Also, I notice the piano is situated near that big floor vent. Is that where the piano is kept routinely or just for performances?
Are the pinstripes painted or inlaid ?
Anyone know what piece is being played around 11 mins? Sounds a lot like Schubert but I may be wrong.
WOW!
Jesus that would be my dream
What is the weighting of the keys in piano competitions I wonder. They obviously can't wheel different pianos in & out for each competitor's preference (or re-weight on the fly.) Is there a 'standard' for this sort of thing?
They do have several pianos for the big ones from which the competitors can choose - the Chopin competition had a Yamaha, Fazioli, Kawai and 2 Steinways this year and they wheel them on and off in between performers.
What is this veneer called?
Un pianoforte di questo livello, avrebbe dovuto mantenere la sua meccanica, secondo la mia opinione.
Notice that only the top octaves have individual hitch pins for each treble wire. Weren't there some years that that ty did that right down to break to the copper wound strings? Or am i confusing this with Bechstein?
Don't know if it's just a characteristic of the Imperial models, but my M200 (1991) does have individual hitch pins, as you say, all the way down to the wound strings. I think the modern budget versions (that is "budget" by Boesendorfer standards) don't have them at all. Not sure it makes much difference unless you are in the habit of breaking strings.
Look at Bosendorfer's website and you'll have nothing to doubt.
Nooo! Giant obscure
When was the piano built? I know it was restored in 2005.
Made in 1978
@@pianoboogie51 interesting. It’s voiced very mellow, more like a model from the 1920’s.
It does seem expressive. Tuning is marginal.
No offense but please have someone narrate this who doesn’t slurp constantly when they speak. Nauseating.
Thank you so much for having the courage to share that. It's so important that we have comments like this so we can correct and improve. I am aware that the sound quality could be bettered. Can you explain a bit more what you mean by slurping? If you prefer, you could write to us info@robertspianos.com. Really appreciate your comment and look forward to an explanation that will allow us to get better! Marcus
