Usato, Bosendorfer, 180

The Bosendorfer Model 180, crafted in 1914, stands as a remarkable example of the storied Viennese piano-making tradition. As a used acoustic grand piano, it carries the legacy of one of the world's most prestigious piano manufacturers, known for their unparalleled sound quality and exquisite craftsmanship. This particular instrument has been completely restored, receiving meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring it meets the highest standards of performance and aesthetics.

Measuring 180 cm in length, the Model 180 is ideally sized for both private and public venues, offering a rich, full-bodied sound that Bosendorfer is celebrated for. Despite its age, the piano has been brought back to its original glory, with a striking black high gloss finish that gives it a commanding presence. This restoration process included the replacement of hammerheads, strings, and dampers, along with a thorough revision of the soundboard, including the installation of new ribs, which are crucial for the instrument's acoustic properties.

One of the most distinctive features of this Bosendorfer is its keyboard, boasting beautiful ivory keys. Although modern pianos no longer use ivory due to conservation laws, the presence of ivory keytops on this piano adds a touch of historical authenticity and provides a unique tactile experience that is highly valued by many pianists.

The piano's 88 keys and 2 pedals offer the standard range and control expected in grand pianos, allowing for expressive and dynamic performances. The absence of natural piano key tops, other than the mentioned ivory, does not detract from the instrument's exceptional touch and responsiveness.

This Bosendorfer Model 180 is more than just a musical instrument; it is a piece of art, fully restored to preserve its historical value and exceptional musical quality. The piano's profound bass and clear, singing treble register make it suitable for a wide range of musical genres, from classical compositions to contemporary pieces.
