I am a pianist and I live in Milan, I am selling my Bösendorfer 200 kept in perfect condition. The instrument was only used for a few years in my youth to prepare for final conservatory exams and some competitions; since then, I have only played it occasionally, having taken a career path different from music. The piano can be viewed in Milan city for any testing or appraisal. Greetings to all Musicians!

Good morning,
it would be interesting to know if the piano has been tuned recently or if it has undergone technical interventions in recent years.
It is a highly sought-after instrument, especially for those who care about the timbral aspect.
I confirm that the piano has never undergone technical interventions in its entire life and is in excellent condition from a mechanical point of view because it has been played very little, always and only by me.
In 1979, I felt the need for a grand piano and went to the Piatino Pianoforti shop in Turin where I tried many pianos (Steinway, Bechstein, Bösendorfer and other brands) and chose the Bösendorfer because I found its timbre to be superior to all the other brands.
I played it from 1979 to 1981 for the preparation of some piano competitions and the 8th-year conservatory exam. After that, I dedicated myself to scientific studies and corporate work until 2013, when I resumed playing to prepare for the diploma exam taken in early 2014.
In essence, the piano was used continuously during the years 1979-1981 and in the year 2013; for the rest of the time, it has been used very, very sporadically. The last tuning was performed by Griffa Pianoforti in Milan in 2013, and since then the piano has maintained a good state of tuning.
As I was telling you, the piano is here at my house, available for any test or appraisal.
Thank you for your attention Have a good day

Good morning,
it seems like an interesting offer... but the last tuning dates back to 2013, which was quite a long time ago.
I hope the wood hasn't suffered too much from humidity over all these years...
Good evening, I apologize, but I have been on vacation for a couple of weeks without the possibility of following the forum. I confirm that I have all the original documentation available, which I am attaching (including the key). cordially Roberto
I will add that the condition of the action is in perfect condition, as is that of the wood (there are no particular maintenance recommendations). No modifications have been made to the regulation and the fact that the piano is still in tune is an indication of its excellent state of preservation. I remind you that the piano is in my house in Milan and is available for any test or appraisal.
Mr. Getto, I apologize for not having replied to you yet, if you agree, I would prefer to communicate my request to you privately (by phone or via WhatsApp).
Thank you for your interest and talk to you soon! Roberto

Good morning,
it's an interesting opportunity... but I wonder if after so many years without tuning it is possible to bring it back to working order without stressing the structure too much.
Perhaps an accurate technical assessment would be fundamental before proceeding :)
