Reimagining Tradition: Gergely Bogányi Introduces the Bogányi B-262 and B-292 Models

Bogányi Piano brings a modern innovation to the last 200 years of almost unchanged piano tradition.

Budapest, Hungary - March 20, 2024 – Renowned Hungarian pianist Gergely Bogányi has long harbored a vision to redefine the very essence of piano music. His burning desire to infuse modern innovation into a centuries-old tradition has culminated in the unveiling of two extraordinary models: the Bogányi B-262 and B-292. Representing a harmonious marriage of groundbreaking sound and visionary design, these instruments herald a new era for pianos worldwide. 

The Bogányi piano features a curvaceous, flowing carbon fiber design and composite soundboard. At the helm of this revolutionary endeavor is Hungarian industrial designer Péter Üveges, whose visionary concepts have brought the breathtaking shape and concept of the Bogányi piano to life. Üveges, celebrated for his prowess in instrument design, particularly in the realm of stringed instruments, has seamlessly translated Bogányi's vision into tangible form and intricate detail.

"These pianos represent the culmination of a lifelong dream to reimagine the piano as we know it," said Gergely Bogányi. "With the Bogányi B-262 and B-292 models, we have merged cutting-edge technology with timeless craftsmanship to create instruments that not only sound exquisite but also captivate the eye with their stunning design."

The Bogányi B-262 and B-292 models stand as testaments to Bogányi and Üveges' collaborative genius. Breaking away from the stagnant conventions of piano design, these instruments introduce a new dimension of sound and aesthetics. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each piano embodies a synthesis of tradition and innovation, promising an unparalleled musical experience for pianists and audiences alike.

THE PRESTIGE B-262

As the smaller concert piano and the first of their biggest innovations of piano design in 200 years, it introduced their design concept and smooth, round sound beyond time to the world.

Bogányi Piano has gained international recognition for their innovative approach to piano-making. Their instruments have been praised by renowned pianists and musicians around the world for their exceptional craftsmanship and superior sound quality. The company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of piano design has also earned them prestigious accolades in the music industry.

At the heart of Bogányi Piano's innovation is the patented design of their instruments. Unlike traditional pianos, which have a wooden soundboard, Bogányi pianos feature a carbon fiber composite soundboard. This unique construction enhances the clarity, projection, and sustain of the sound, allowing pianists to fully express their musicality. The result is a piano that offers a wide range of tonal colors and an extraordinary dynamic range.

In addition to their revolutionary soundboard, Bogányi pianos are also known for their distinctive appearance. The piano's sleek and curved shape, inspired by the organic forms found in nature, stands out among the more traditional designs. The instrument's striking appearance not only adds a visual element to the performance but also creates a harmonious connection between the pianist, the music, and the audience. The latest innovation is the Carbon Core center plate, which helps reduce the total weight by 200 kilograms, and makes the piano much more reliable and stable.

With their innovative pianos, Bogányi aims to inspire a new generation of musicians and create unforgettable musical experiences. By combining technology, artistry, and craftsmanship, Bogányi Piano is reshaping the landscape of classical music and challenging the traditional norms of piano design.

Customization is available with all colors of the rainbow possible for the outer rim and carbon core centerpiece. Plus, any other requests that are required.
