VSL Studio Bosendorfer Upright Stereo for Synchron PianosUpright Design, Grand Sound
The Bösendorfer Grand Upright 130 incorporates the experience of almost two centuries of grand piano making. Although physically an upright piano, the instrument surprises with subtle nuances and a powerful bass, and yet with a pure and pristine piano sound, without the broader tonal colors usually added by the large body of a concert grand.

• A modern classic
• Stellar clarity in each note
• Wide dynamic range
• Rich tone with a powerful bass
• Versatility in sound and timbre with eight microphone positions
• Recorded at Stage B of Synchron Stage Vienna
• Advanced Release Sample Technology
• Pre-configured Main Presets: Concert, Intimate, Player, Pop, Ambience, Vintage

The legendary pure and rich Bösendorfer sound is based on the Viennese tradition of piano making with its complex construction. Bösendorfer uses more than 80% naturally dried resonant spruce wood to build an instrument – more than any other manufacturer. When a note is played, the integrated spruce components become acoustically active, forming a complete resonating body similar in principle to a violin. Its precise mechanics offer optimum power transmission with maximum controllability. The carefully hand-spun bass strings – steel core strings with one or two layers of copper – also contribute to its warm and sonorous sound.
