Imperial Grand

The Flagship of Concert Grand Pianos

For more than 90 years, the Imperial Grand was known for being the only concert grand piano to have 97 keys and a full eight octaves. It boasts the unforgettably dark, rich Bösendorfer style sound, and thanks to the incredible level of realism with our patented Neo Piano Hybrid Modeling Engine, continues to establish itself as a dominating theatrical force.

Bösendorfer, especially regarding the Imperial Grand, is known for producing pianos with a uniquely rich, singing, and sustaining tone. In fact, the Imperial Grand offers a characteristic tonal quality in part due to the inclusion of nine additional bass notes below bottom. Our Imperial Grand successfully reproduces the sound of a Bösendorfer 290SE, giving you full control over the sound in a much deeper degree. A true successor to the Imperial Grand, this is the first modeled piano ever nominated for the TEC Awards in Music Instrument Technology Software Category (29th TEC Awards).

Historic Sounds Recapture in Rich, Warm Sound

The Imperial Grand is designed with our custom-built Neo Piano Hybrid DFD/RAM system and optimized carefully to each piano. We’ve created a unique experience that allows you to enjoy authentic sample sounds with the playability of a modelled piano, allowing you to experience the piano like never before.

Multi-Dimension Resonance Engine

A major breakthrough in our Neo Piano is the resonance engine. Every Grand Piano has a very large soundboard which reflects sound that resonates along with the piano’s wood body—this is a continuous process and makes every note sound unique.

In order to simulate this behavior, we captured multi angle IRs from the soundboard, then use modeling technology to convert those IRs into Resonance Engine Algorithms. The result is an amazing concert hall sound reproduction full of life.

This is enhanced even further with absolute control over 40 unique piano aspects. You’ll have the ability to lift the lid, alter the dampers, change the velocity response, apply a ‘style’ or resonance, adjust the player/audience perspective, and so much more.
