Bösendorfer Quick Facts

• Approximately 350 instruments are built each year at the Bösendorfer factory in Wiener Neustadt (Austria).

• Bösendorfer is often pronounced "Boe-zen-dor-fer" by non-German speakers. Its true pronunciation is closer to "Berr-zen-dor-fer", but either pronunciation is acceptable.
   

A Note About this Site

After purchasing a new 185 model in June 2007, I created the Bösendorfer Connection as a way to bring together those who share a passionate interest in these beautiful pianos. If you have any stories, photographs or resource recommendations you'd like added to this site, feel free to contact me. Looking forward to hearing from you.
