Bösendorfer Rare Senator Style Concert Grand Piano for Sale - LIVING PIANOS

[@Doug_Seidlitz]

That is about as beautiful as a piano gets.

[@alexanderpianos1038]

Bösendorfer have found the sweet spot when it comes to designing and building their pianos. The significance of this tone is breathtaking! Much congratulations to Bösendorfer and the restoration team!

[@KarlUppianoKarlU]

One of the most beautiful instruments I've ever seen.

[@Htfsik]

I’m a mindless Steinway partisan. But WOW. That’s such a unique sound. And so…precise. I guess it’s partly a function of the individual stringing. But even among Bösendorfer pianos this one seems to have an especially lustrous sound. I sure would like to hear some straight jazz played on that instrument.

[@frankiii9165]

What a magnificient piano. The sound is fantastic and the looks too, revealing its true origins.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

WOW!!!! The sound of that beast is incredibly gorgeous!!

[@2Hearts3]

You can hear Robert's reverence for this piano in his playing of the Bach here. A rare instrument.

[@GabrielVelasco]

Wow! What a stunning instrument.

[@classicallpvault]

Spectacular sounding and looking piano and no corners were cut while restoring it.

[@kvstrevettmusic5140]

That's correct, none of the corners were cut !

[@Widiar0]

The higher treble is quite amazing. Happened to be listening with my mixing/mastering setup and it's quite beautiful.

[@XUMbxl]

Such a fabulous singing instrument. Thank you for sharing ✨

[@robertdyson4216]

I had a Bösendorfer upright piano in the 1950s from about the same date, the action was superb. I had never experienced anything like it. I wish I lived near you to come and try your Senator.

[@PianoRevisited]

They don't make them like that anymore. Real old world elegance and the sound is magnificent.

[@richardcleveland8549]

What a gorgeous instrument!

[@d.j.rosscarpediem921]

Wish we could have it for our school.

[@paulpurpura191]

What a beautiful piano!

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

Amazing sound!!!

[@danaroland9971]

This piano looks gorgeous 😍

[@DarrenHodson]

Wow ❤ Beautiful

[@robertobeltrami6466]

Assolutamente magnifico!

[@Origen17]

I love the finish - wish they had a special edition that is similar.

[@chrysanthemumfan214]

Yes! It reminds me of the appearance of an old harpsichord.

[@ellisonhamilton3322]

What a beautiful instrument.

[@yogiperogy]

Spooky! The brand name on the right cheek appears, disappears, re-appears… what sorcery is Robert practising? 😮 Beautiful, resonant sound even at the extreme bass end. Steinway…eat your heart out! Would be a great instrument to hear in a full recital!

[@krummhorn2824]

Lighting.

[@wurly164]

It's always there, just the way the lights hit it

[@firephoenix8087]

Wow what a rare gem 💎 it sounds beautiful ❤️

[@larryjohnson6385]

Totally awesome 😎

[@PVZBlover]

The restoration of this '35 made it look modern

[@2ndavenuesw481]

It truly does sound amazing through these headphones, must really be something in person.

[@pianostudy4403]

Wow! It would be interesting to hear the last few bars of the Bach-Busoni Chaconne piece, especially with last few notes in the left hand 😎. Nice playing Robert!

[@LivingPianosVideos]

What would be great is being able to go down to the low G below the lowest A on the piano at the end of the Chaconne. I have always wanted to hear that!

[@kerrykirk7172]

Beautiful piano and sound! What Temperament and tuning style is used? Robert, your choices for demonstration really show off the piano's sound!

[@LivingPianosVideos]

The piano is tuned to a concert level of performance in a tempered stretch tuning suitable for an instrument of this size.

[@jerrycallender9352]

I had a client in San Diego who had a Bosendorfer on the 2nd landing of a spiral staircase.

[@PiotrBarcz]

Sounds nice! Those Heller strings have a nice tone :D

[@studentjohn35]

Feurich in Gunzenhausen used to make pianos in pyramid mahogany styled after Sheraton. Alas, not available now. Bosendorfer stopped making the model 275 decades ago. Their new model 280VC is a very different sounding instrument.

[@thisismoyukhsworld2022]

Can you play a piece from Davidsbundlertanze or Kreisleriana????

[@peteacher52]

A motorcycle magazine I once bought regularly, included in its test criteria "Ability To Forgive Rider Error", an extremely useful rating. I wonder if you could modify the idea and apply it to a grand piano's "reaction" to the multitude of different players that perform upon it? And yes, I've viewed the Steinway/Petrof video.

[@davidgrauvogl1827]

When it sounds amazing even through my laptop speakers, you have a gem! Robert, it looked like you really enjoyed playing this piano. I'm curious: Last I'd heard, Bosendorfer was owned by Yamaha and even shared a few parts. How does this piano compare with its present day counterpart?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

Yamaha has kept the Bosendorfer factory intact. So they’re still making beautiful instruments!

[@alexandertosi2764]

What year was this piano built? Does it have a modern action, or the old style from the 1800’s?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

It was originally manufactured in 1935 and has a new Renner action: livingpianos.com/pianos/bosendorfer-rare-senator-style-concert-grand/

[@barryo5158]

Nice!

[@Vivaldilover]

Wonderful!!! Question Robert.....I am a 74 year old intermediate pianist. I get frustrated that playing new pieces take me a long time to learn. How long does learning a new piece take?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

How long it takes to learn a piece depends upon whether you’ve ever been taught how to learn a piece. If you’re interested in more information, you’re welcome to email me [e-mail].

[@thomaskrenn3808]

wow!!

[@christopherczajasager9030]

Is this 2.75, or the Imperial 2.90?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

275

[@PatrickDieterKlavier]

Okay, what is the prize point? Without transport, and with transportation to Germany?

[@jeffdutton1910]

I suspect it's one of those situations where if you have to ask, then you can't afford it.

[@LivingPianosVideos]

[@jeffdutton1910]

@@LivingPianosVideos not as much as I thought it might be, but still beyond my means. This is a truly magnificent instrument and it should go to someone who can not only shoulder the purchase price, but also provide it with a suitable home, and the regular care it deserves. It should also be under the hands of an accomplished pianist.

[@PatrickDieterKlavier]

@@jeffdutton1910 ....Which I am...😄

[@PatrickDieterKlavier]

@@jeffdutton1910 Maybe, well two salon grands I own already... but an Imperial, or Senator is a dream of me. I know the Imperial, I played one regular in the Cologne opera ...in my youth

[@bobdear5160]

I’ve played a couple of Bosendorfer Imperials, both with the extra drone notes below the standard keyboard. Both sounded fantastic. Sadly my piano playing was good but not up to the quality of the instrument!

[@wurly164]

I always thought these pianos had a better sound then Steinway. Much smoother

[@mobeck]

Oh my word, can I have this piano please?

[@Chopin-Etudes-Cosplay]

So what does “Senator style” mean?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

The Bösendorfer Senator style is a rare cabinet design distinguished by polished pyramid mahogany with pear-wood inlays, creating a distinctive and elegant appearance. This design often features a five-corner case, further distinguishing it from standard models.

[@vitale6633]

Glourious !!!

[@RogueNinjaCreative]

That's not a piano. That's a FORTE! 😂👏👏👏

[@theart8039]

A bit ornate for my taste but sounds wonderful

[@cabotcat1]

Had I won mega millions last week…

[@Snappydadshoes]

Oh man. That thing was made for Beethoven.

[@Vassilika1]

Ich schätze mal so 60'000 Euro dürfte die Kiste noch bringen, die Nachfrage ist ja nicht mehr gross. Viel Erfolg beim Verkauf. :-)

[@vanessajazp6341]

Lemme guess… $200,000?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

It’s worth that: livingpianos.com/pianos/bosendorfer-rare-senator-style-concert-grand/

[@irabraus9478]

Too bad Joerg Demus switched from Boesendorfer to Steinway.

[@AndrewWu-p8w]

[@johnb6723]

He still cannot pronounce Bösendorfer correctly.

[@butwhatwouldiknow]

yeah and it's not even that difficult, surely.
