Bösendorfer Imperial Concert Grand Piano from Japan

Bösendorfer's Imperial model is a legendary concert grand piano with a case over 270 cm long, qualifying under HTS 9201.20.00.51 due to its extended rim for superior bass response. Renowned for its 97 or 108 keys in extended versions, it uses premium materials like Renner action for Vienna's finest concert venues. The large case size distinguishes it for professional orchestral use.
