Bösendorfer has established high standards in the world of music. The unending richness of the sound and variation of the tones, the unmistakable timbre and enormous potential and dynamic of Bösendorfer grand pianos make these instruments suitable for many different settings. They are played in the intimacy of the home, for teaching music, for soloist performances and as concert instruments for chamber music with a full orchestra. This beauty of a piano was in the process of being restored for my daughter. However, the company that was working on the restoration closed, and we had to pick it up unassembled. There are numerous photographs that I took to show the pieces that are not installed. However, I was limited to 12 listing pictures. When the piano was picked up, some of the brass finishing parts were misplaced. All that I was able to collect is what is shown in this auction. Therefore, I am selling the piano "As Is".  I am currently working on finishing the restoration of my home. I am a mortgage broker, and the industry has come to a halt. I will be selling my $2 mill home and personal assets. I have two piano's currently in my living room. I will be listing a Kimball piano, too. I have spent thousands so far in this piano restoration. I have owned it for about 4 yrs. Bösendorfer's sell well over $40,000 when finished, polished, and playing. We had a tuner take a look at the piano, and he stated that the piano's strings were in great condition, and that they were not older than 10-15 yrs old. The original bench is finished & included in this auction. Piano measures 56" w  x  64" d  x  39" h Bench measures 35" w  x  15 1/2" d  x  19" h All brass that is available now, was polished. Feet and pedals were polished. Original ivory keys. Some minor dings, scratches, some minor warping around the metal border on the top of piano. Otherwise, the piano is just waiting for the right person to purchase the missing hinges, assemble them and have the piano tuned. All of the wood is finished and brass polished.
