Handcrafted in Vienna, Austria, the 280VC incorporates Bösendorfer's latest advances in acoustic and structural design. The instrument was developed to provide a highly responsive action, extraordinary tonal color, and the ability to produce both the most delicate pianissimo and tremendous concert-level power.
The 280VC's Vienna Concert technology represents a significant evolution in Bösendorfer's approach to the soundboard, rib structure, scaling, and overall acoustic design. The result is an instrument with exceptional transparency, depth, projection, and tonal flexibility. Bösendorfer describes the VC concept as combining a broad spectrum of tonal colors, sensitive dynamic responsiveness, and an impeccable action.
At 9 feet 2 inches in length, the 280VC offers the scale and authority expected of a major concert grand while maintaining the distinctive warmth and singing quality of the Bösendorfer sound. It is equally suited to solo recital repertoire, chamber music, recording, and major concert-hall performance.
