Description

Bösendorfer, one of the oldest piano manufacturers, was established in 1828 by Ignaz Bösendorfer. It has a history of producing highly respected instruments; in 1830, it was granted the status of official piano maker to the Emperor of Austria. Ignaz's son Ludwig Bösendorfer (15 April 1835 – 9 May 1919) assumed control in 1859, operating from new premises from 1860. Between 1872 and its closure in 1913, the associated Bösendorfer-Saal was one of the premier concert halls of Vienna. In 1909, Carl Hutterstrasser purchased the company and was succeeded by his sons Alexander and Wolfgang in 1931. Wikipedia
This photo of this magnificent piano, was taken at the Harvey House in Winslow, Arizona. Harvey Houses were the forerunner of hotel chains. Originally built by railroad stations with splendid hotels, this chain of hotels called the Harvey House, were built across the western frontier as railroads progressed towasd the west coast. His plan was to have all of the Harvey Houses have the same recipes for the restaurants, the same training for alll employees, to name but a few. This was to establish a comfort for his guests.
This beautiful piano, though not original to the Harvey House has beautiful ivory keys. The keys are refleted in the magnificent spruce wood. Bosendorfer believe that Spruce created the best sound for this magnificent piano.
What a blessing to be able to see and play such a magnificent musical instrument!
