The Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Bösendorfer Imperial Full Library is a virtual instrument that puts the warm bass, singing treble, and rich overtones of a Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial at your fingertips. Representing the apex of the famed Austrian piano manufacturer's precious heritage, the Concert Grand 290 Imperial features nine additional sub-bass notes, which extend the instrument's key range downward to the low C for a total range of eight octaves. The extra bass strings create additional harmonic resonance with every key you strike, providing warmth, richness and depth across the entire instrument. The massive soundboard projects an unusually broad frequency range, evoking a sonorous, orchestral timbre.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the weight limit?

A: The manufacturer has not published this specification.

Q: 2. How does it mount in grand piano? Is it mounted in any way or just laid in?

A: Hi Barry: (Sorry I didn't realize that I needed to reply via web form)the microphone was laid in. I was worried that the foam sticker would have a dampening affect on the sound, and so I didn't use any sticker. The sound is still not good in the lower register. I continue to try different locations. Please advise.

Q: 3. Is the separate subwoofer necessary or are the built-in subwoofers good enough for a small (12x12) room?

A: According to the Sony website, it "Delivers high sound pressure for clear, deep bass. This has been achieved by expanding the area of the diaphragm and the size of the subwoofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit)." In this case it should work fine for a small room. Hope this helps.

A: Yes, with the room calibration done it shouldn't be an issue.
