Bösendorfer Upright Pianos

“One of the proudest moments of the near 100 years' existence of Markson Pianos has been us being selected to be a distributor for this prestigious manufacturer” - Simon Markson

Recognised as one of the finest piano manufacturers in the world, Bösendorfer pianos are sited in many of the worlds concert halls and performance venues and are the preferred instruments by such artists as :

Franz Liszt - (the Bösendorfer and the Bechstein being the only pianos of their time to withstand his tremendously powerful technique), Artur Rubenstein, Sviatoslav Richter, Alfred Brendl, Leon McCawley, Tori Amos, and Quincy Jones. The Bösendorfer has also featured on numerous recordings (both classical and popular) and include Freddie Mercury from Queen's Flash, and Robbie Williams, Elvis Costello, and Peter Gabriel.

The defining characteristics of the Bösendorfer instruments are the dark, rich, and pure sounds produced by the high quality materials used and in the case of the Imperial the additional 9 notes in the bass add to the sonic quality through sympathetic resonance.
