  • Silent Stage Quiz ended

    Our Silent Stage quiz has ended, and we have three winners.

    The correct answer to our prize question is 249.

    The Model 290, the Imperial, is the only concert grand with 97 keys - a full eight octaves. This expanded tone range makes it possible to play various compositions by Bartók, Debussy, Ravel and Busoni faithful to the original score.

    The Boesendorfer Imperial is 290 cm long, 168 cm wide, and weighs 570 kg. It has 71 keys with three strings, 10 keys with two strings, and 16 keys with one string (which added together makes 249).

    I've count all the strings and notes on the VSL Bosendorfer [H] [:D] The strange thing is I had 88 notes and 237 strings ... I hope the next quizz will be, how many notes do you have on a Bb trumpet !!! [:P]
