Semi-Concert 7’4″ (225)
The 225 model has been made entirely in the tradition of Bösendorfer. It has been considered by many pianists to be the finest piano model in the world. It immediately had a remarkable success as a performance instrument; a success that is well founded. It’s design and size allow a wealth of tonal colours all the way from sensitive pianissimo to powerful fortissimo. It also benefits from extra keys in the bass: four keys to subcontra F. This helps explain the popularity of the model 225 as the best chamber music and solo instrument in it’s class. This semi concert does not necessarily require a stage, as it can also sound wonderful in your home. This piano makes a statement as being the very finest in the world. Only a handful of these fine pianos are made each year.
There are only a few hundred in all of the world. Bösendorfer uses the finest materials and hand workmanship to create one of the very few most sought after brands which is valued as the very finest as well as among the most expensive.
Bösendorfer uses a wider tail and unique spruce rim and lid construction to create a tone which is much richer, clear, and colorful than most brands-including Steinway, Mason& Hamlin, Yamaha, and famous European brands such as Bechstein, Hamburg Steinway among others. This is the size which piano
professors seek for their studios, the smaller concert stages and their churches.
