1950 L. Bösendorfer Baby Grand Piano (Serial No. 26998)

Rarely does an instrument of this pedigree, preservation, and historical purity enter the market. Hand-built in post-war Vienna under the legendary direction of the Hutterstrasser family, this 1950 Bösendorfer baby grand represents the absolute pinnacle of elite Austrian piano construction.

While most mid-century European instruments require exhaustive restoration, Serial No. 26998 boasts a flawless 100% Structural Originality Index. It retains its magnificent, factory-installed Austrian Alpine Spruce soundboard, original high-torque tuning pins, and perfectly regulated hand-pressed factory action. Free from any modern patches, modifications, or replacement components, it delivers the exact, authentic "Viennese Sound"—distinguished by its warm, singing treble and deeply orchestral, resonant bass response—initially intended by its master builders. 

The cabinet features a premium, mirror-polished natural exotic wood veneer finish showing striking horizontal grain alignment across the rim and fallboard. Kept under strict climate-controlled conditions and played professionally, this piano offers immediate concert-level playability and maximum tuning stability. Complete with its matching continuous-top, spade-leg duet bench, this is a phenomenal acquisition opportunity for serious performers, discerning collectors, and high-end estates alike.
