All bass strings are spun in our unique Bösendorfer way. A steel core string is the basis for 1 or two layers of copper. The carefully spun strings are a substantial element of the warm and sonorous Bösendorfer bass.
Upright in Design, Grand in Sound
The Bösendorfer 130 is indeed physically an upright piano, yet, surprises with subtle nuances and the powerful bass of a grand piano. We have transferred refined craftsmanship and our sound philosophy in an upright form to this instrument. The precise action offers freedom in articulation and play with maximum controllability. The grand sound of this upright is by no means a surprise since the very Bösendorfer Artisans building our Concert Grands design and craft the Bösendorfer Grand Upright 130, nearly two centuries of sound crafting experience.

Tonal stability at its best: Our open pinblock consists out of 3 layers of 7mm quarter sawn maple, glued cross-grained to each other. Settled on a base of red beech this construction offers a firm basis for the pins tied with strings. The top layer is refined with a 1.5mm walnut veneer. Our open pin block: a sound basis indeed.
Each string is individually attached with a handmade loop. Over time this improves tuning stability and is particularly service friendly.
Grand Upright
Experience, know-how and technology of grand piano manufacturing sophisticated and transferred to an upright piano.
That is why we call this the Grand Upright 130.
