Is it true, that Bsendorfer grand pianos have more strings than other manufacturers?
Yes, Bsendorfer grand pianos possess single stringing. Each string in the Bsendorfer piano is individually attached with hand made loop. This permits better tuning stability. It also has one advantage that if one string breaks during a performance, only one of the 3 unisons is affected, and the music may continue because there will be two strings left. Thus the lost of sound is minimal. This kind of attention is also what makes Bsendorfer’s the finest piano in the world.
