    Hi,

    I've got a question regarding the Bösendorfer Imperial. Currently I'm using this instrument from the Special Edition.

    I understand that there are differences in Mic-Position and sample content (Key Noise) between Special Edition and Standalone Product.

    In the Standalone Product Info there is something about automated Repetition Performances. Does this feature apply to the Bösendorfer Imperial Special Edition as well, or do I have to get the full product to make use of it?

    Thanks for helping
    Stefan

    HI Stefan,

    The piano you hear in the Special Editions is actually a stripped-down version of the predecessor of our Vienna Imperial, the much smaller "Bösendorfer Imperial".

    IIRC, we added 2 repetitions to those limited velocities of the Special Edition piano.

    You will be VERY pleasantly surprised by the bigger versions, and with the current Voucher Special, it's a good time to purchase!

    Best,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    thanks for the info. I will strongly consider your recommendation. The Bösendörfer Piano sounds really great. Even in the Special Edition.

    Best Stefan
