Bosendorfer 170VC

5'7" Baby Grand Piano

Ludwig Bosendorfer drew up the first plans for the Bosendorfer 170 in 1908 - making this one of the oldest piano models in the World. Now infused with Bosendorfer's incredible Vienna Concert technology, the 170VC combines nearly two centuries of piano building experience and modern scientific tools that further accentuate the multifaceted and expressive nature of a Bosendorfer Grand Piano. Reimagined from scratch - yet true to the iconic Bosendorfer philosophy - these new pianos represent Bosendorfer's commitment to innovation and unmatched quality.

The 170VC Bosendorfer baby grand piano was designed to enchant the cheerful gatherings of the bourgeois and nobility, yet - more than a century later - the piano still enjoys immense popularity among the World's most discerning piano enthusiasts. Bosendorfer's master craftsmen and women have accomplished this by building 85% of the piano out of Bavarian Spruce tonewood. Even the piano's rim and frame are made with solid spruce - giving the entire piano a role in tone production. Other manufactures think of the piano's frame and rim as purely structural or decorative in nature and therefore build them out of lesser woods or laminates. Not Bosendorfer. Every Bosendorfer piano's "Spruce Resonance Case" is made of only the finest Bavarian spruce and is naturally dried for up to five years. The piano is then fitted with a custom cast iron plate, individually-attached strings, hand-wound (bass) strings, an open pin block (for unparalleled durability and tuning stability), a custom Kluge keyboard and a custom Renner action - the finest made in the World today.

The entire process takes six years to complete, but - at first touch - players of any skill level will thrive in this true Bosendorfer Sound Experience.
