The Bösendorfer 280VC is a concert grand of legendary scope - its rich resonance and wide dynamic palette make it a favorite of virtuosos. The Pianoteq model recreates all 242 strings, the soundboard, and the subtle internal resonances that give Bösendorfers their signature clarity, warmth, and projection.
As you play, the tonal character continues to evolve: the deepest bass remains firm and full, while the treble sings with clarity and shimmer. Pianoteq gives you full control - mic placement, string tuning, hammer voicing, resonance - and the modeling responds instantly to your adjustments.
The factory presets provide ready access to classical, jazz, ambient, and modern voicings. But if you prefer to dive deeper, you can reshape tone via spectral and inter-string settings, morphing, and layering. Whether you're recording or performing live, the model adapts seamlessly across genres.
Recent updates have polished the tone further - soundboard improvements and refined resonance calculations produce enhanced clarity, spatial depth, and harmonic richness. The result is a Bösendorfer that feels alive under your fingers.
This instrument is authorized by Bösendorfer, ensuring the model matches the brand's sonic expectations.
