Piano Design
Piano Design
Bogányi, alongside his virtuoso piano playing, is known for his revolutionary piano designs including the Prestige B-262 and the larger Grand Prestige B-292, both of which are primarily constructed of carbon composites. “There have been no major developments in piano construction in over 100 years,” says Bogányi. The estimated cost of the project was just under €1 million (£750,000).
