Bösendorfer sounds clearer, more accurate and overall creates a calmer fealling. For those reasons is my preference.

all top brands sound very good. the choice is personal preference.

The Bösendorfer is masculine and the Blüthner is feminine. The Bösendorfer demands effort from the pianist to produce that rich sound, whereas the Blüthner takes a delicate, strategic and almost surgical touch from the pianist. The beauty from each instrument depends on whether or not the pianist has an understanding of the weight of the keys and can maximize the sound accordingly.

🤗🎼🎶Bluthner has a more soothing sound ,on the hand Bosendorfer has brilliant sound 👍👍🤗🎼🎶🎵🚴‍♀️🚲🚴🏼‍♀️

Bluthner - more fragility, glass like, femininity

schön!

On a first hearing I preferred the Boesendorfer - but on a second hearing the Bluethner appealed much more. Strange.

Great !

I keep listening to various recordings with Blüthner and I still can't fathom why so many people praise it so much. I've tried some pianos in Leipzig, I didn't like the sound and I still don't. Sharp, shrill, unpleasant to the ear. I'm not saying they're bad pianos, of course. (Today I had to practice on an Essex, speaking of bad pianos...) But there's always something off.

Bosendorfer

That G#3 of Bluethener sounds off.

Bosendorfer sounds better, but I liked Blunther better.

which do you like more? please comment...

Would you try a Bechstein vs Steinway with The Claire De lune piece?🤗🤗🎼🎶🎵🚴‍♀️🚲🚴🏼‍♀️🚲

I prefer the Rivella.

Hard to admit but the Bösendorfer outperforms the Blüthner. And I love Blüthner.

bluthner lacks inharmonicity ngl

The Bösendorfer has a clean, sharp elegance. The Blüthner oozes character. I always loved the sound of a well prepared Bösendorfer over Steinways and Bechsteins, but Blüthner always were so different that I felt I could not compare them properly. I was looking for a good grand, 200-230 cm long some time ago and of course played Bösendorfee 200 and 225 instruments which were wonderful but of course really expensive (45-80000€). Then I found a Blüthner X (230cm) from 1908 with a double repetition action and fell in love for a third of what a Bösendorfer 225 would have been. Now I have this characteristic sound in my living room. Sometimes I wonder if a Bösendorfer 225 would be nicer. Then I stop, call myself an idiot and remind myself that I do own one of the finest pianos. The grass is always greener on the other side and as long as two grands in my living room is not an option, I shall be happy and excited.
