The Next Generation Concert Grand

The perfect fusion of tradition and innovation: Bösendorfer’s new and acclaimed “Vienna Concert” grand piano merges the company’s venerated traditional approach to piano manufacturing with the most recent and sophisticated engineering. The 280VC is completely modern and reimagined from scratch, while remaining true to Bösendorfer’s legendary foundations. This is, without a doubt, the Viennese Concert Grand for the 21st century, never sacrificing any of the beloved tonal characteristics of vintage-oriented pianos and historic instruments. Everything that players, composers, and engineers love about the iconic Bösendorfer signature sound can be marveled at in this package. The 280VC has proven to be a true all-rounder, and so is this digital recreation that makes it incredibly easy and intuitive to dial in your own custom tone – as pure or as FX-charged as you desire. This Bösendorfer is a truly masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, bringing the best of both worlds into your studio.

In contrast to the Bösendorfer Imperial with its additional bass strings, wider soundboard and more orchestral sonic character, the sound of the 280VC is very distinct and clear. The bass, tenor, and treble sections are easily distinguishable from one another. Beyond that, its huge dynamic range makes this concert grand exceptionally versatile. It has the necessary sensitivity to offer supportive accompaniment to singers and solo instrumentalists in chamber music settings, while simultaneously holding its own against the power of a large orchestra in a huge concert hall with ease. In addition, the 280VC embraces the qualities of all Bösendorfer concert grands, including the diversity of sonic colors and warmth, inherent to fine Viennese instruments.

Presets
