Making Bösendorfer More Austrian...

[gbmc]

It's a question that's been rattling around in my head... What has happened to Boesendorfer since Yamaha purchased the company in 2008? This month we take a quick look behind the scenes with Ed Bezursik and Simon Oss into this company that is the oldest premier piano manufacturer in the world.

I agree with Barrie, I had the site time out too.

Excuse my ignorance, but on the above comment - and also mentioned in the blog, what exactly does, "the oldest premier piano manufacturer in the world" mean?

If it's what I think it means, I can think of one first rate company still in existence which is older than Bosendorfer.

Yes indeed. Burkat Shudi founded that company in 1728 and still in operation today.

Bosie opened 100 years later.

Ah, the John Broadwood connection. Your knowledge and memory are greater then mine Dan.
I was thinking of Sauter (1819) compared to 1827 - Bösendorfer.

Yes, Broadwood still going strong. Exhibiting at Shanghai Music Fair in October and a brand new website..
