The Bösendorfer 290, also known as the Imperial, is one of the most iconic and impressive pianos ever made. Notable for its extra bass notes, massive size, and extremely high quality, the Imperial has long been one of my favorite pianos simply for the oddity and rarity of them, and this particular instrument is one of the best I've played. Refurbished by Meyer in Europe, this instrument has an unusually deep, sonorous tone, a crystalline treble, and a powerful sound that you won't always find in a Bösendorfer!
Many thanks to Benjamin Kim from Kim's Pianos for letting me review and play this piano, even though it was sold! Not everyone would allow that.. :)
