Upright Design, Grand Sound

More than meets the eye: The Bösendorfer Grand Upright 130 incorporates Viennese tradition and the experience of almost two centuries of piano making. While physically an upright piano, the instrument surprises with subtle nuances and a powerful bass. A pure, pristine and immense piano sound, without further tonal colors that are inherent to the large body of a concert grand, are the stunning result. Sometimes the best things do come in smaller packages – the inspiring tone of this Bösendorfer upright certainly defies its size, offering a grand sound with stellar clarity and an exceptional dynamic range. The variety of creative ‘dry’ and ‘reverberated’ options make this already versatile instrument even more adaptable, and its unique timbre a perfect fit for projects across any genre. An absolute modern classic.

The Bösendorfer Factor
The legendary pure and rich Bösendorfer sound is based on the Viennese tradition of piano making and its complex construction. Bösendorfer uses more than 80% naturally dried resonant spruce wood to build its instruments – more than any other manufacturer. When a note is played, the integrated spruce components become acoustically active, forming one entire resonating body that is similar in principle to a violin. Its precise mechanics offer optimal power transmission and maximum controllability. The carefully hand-spun bass strings – steel core strings with one to two layers of copper – contribute to the warm and sonorous sound
