L. Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH of Vienna Austria has announced the appointment of Allegro Pianos of Stamford CT as the exclusive authorized Bösendorfer dealer in New York City.

Bösendorfer Pianos are known throughout the world for their exceptional high quality and rich, singing tone. Celebrating 180 years of manufacturing, Bösendorfer pianos feature exclusive design and tonal characteristics that result in what the company calls "The Touching Sound". Bösendorfer makes seven sizes of grand pianos, from 5'7" up to the 9" 6" Imperial concert grand, with an extended keyboard of 97 notes.

While continuing a strong tradition of Viennese piano manufacturing, Bösendorfer has also been on the cutting edge of technology and innovation. The Bösendorfer CEUS system, the world's most accurate computer based reproducing piano, has received worldwide acclaim as a high level tool for instruction and professional development.

"We're very excited to expand our relationship with Allegro Pianos" states Andreas Kaufmann, Worldwide Sales Director for Bösendorfer. "Allegro has built a wonderful reputation for excellence in sales, service and customer support. These qualities are critical to the successful representation of Bosendorfer."

Allegro Pianos, which has been successfully representing Bösendorfer pianos in Connecticut and New England is the prime source for high quality European pianos in the Northeastern United States. Its new flagship showroom, presently under construction in Stamford CT and scheduled to open in September 2008, will feature a comprehensive selection of Bösendorfer pianos. Adjoining the multilevel showroom will be a 700 student music school and a dedicated recital space. Allegro Pianos intends to announce a Bösendorfer retail presence in Manhattan later this year.

"I'm very pleased with the confidence that Bösendorfer has shown in Allegro Pianos" states Ori Bukai, owner of Allegro Pianos. "We are committed to providing piano and music lovers the best possible selection of the highest quality pianos. Bösendorfer represents the special combination of performance, quality, and heritage that New Yorkers deserve. "
