We successfully completed another extremely demanding restoration of the Bösendorfer piano.
We brought the piano to our piano workshop in extremely poor condition. The true extent of the damage was visible after we disassembled the entire piano. As Jožef Benda told for interview fot ARS Program, we had a “big party” with the restoration of the piano in our piano workshop. The Bösendorfer piano has undergone a complete renovation in our piano workshop. It was very dry and cracked, but we still managed to keep the soundboard.
The soundboard is the heart of the piano and any defects on this plate mean sound problems in some cases as well as piano failure.
Piano, Bösendorfer GP 225 with subcontra F – year 1925, from studio 1, we were entrusted with the renovation from Radio Slovenia.
The story of the Bösendorfer piano was researched and summarized in four parts by Gregor Strniša, composer, arranger and pianist. You can read it on the website of Mr. Gregor Strniša.
We are honored that with our team of piano technicians we are also part of this story, which is now, as the director of Radio Slovenia, Mr. Mirko Štular, appoints:
THE STORY OF A FORMER ABANDONED PIANO
We invite you to watch an interesting story about an abandoned, mysterious piano and a presentation of the renovated Bösendorfer concert piano from Studio 26 of Radio Slovenia.
