Bösendorfer
Bösendorfer (L. Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH) is an Austrian piano manufacturer founded in 1828 and wholly owned subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation since 2008. Bösendorfer is unusual in that it produces pianos with 97- and 92-key models in addition to instruments with standard 88-keys.
Bösendorfer, one of the oldest piano manufacturers, was established in 1828 by Ignaz Bösendorfer. It has a history of producing highly respected instruments.
In 1830, it was granted the status of official piano maker by the Emperor of Austria.
Ignaz's son Ludwig Bösendorfer (1835–1919) assumed control in 1859, operating from new premises from 1860.
Between 1872 and its closure in 1913, the associated Bösendorfer-Saal was one of the premier concert halls of Vienna.
In 1909, Carl Hutterstrasser purchased the company and was succeeded by his sons Alexander and Wolfgang in 1931.
In 1966, the Jasper Corporation (later renamed Kimball International), parent company of Kimball Pianos, assumed control of Bösendorfer.
In 2001, Bösendorfer returned to Austrian hands, when the BAWAG PSK Gruppe purchased it.
