The Vienna Grand was recorded at Hansahaus Studios in Germany, which has an excellent reputation for its outstanding jazz recordings and has already been awarded two Grammys for it. The Bösendorfer Imperial is famous for its powerful soundboard. The additional keys serve primarily for amplified resonance, but can be played with Galaxy II. With its 290 cm, the "Imperial" was the longest series-produced grand piano for a long time and is to this day the only piano with 97 keys. The Imperial grand piano with 8 octaves (from sub-contra-C to c5), built at the suggestion of Ferrucia Busoni, caused a sensation as early as 1900. Founded by Ignaz Bösendorfer in 1828, Bösendorfer is the oldest still existing grand piano manufacturer with an outstanding worldwide reputation. Galaxy II's Vienna Grand is based on a BÖSENDORFER IMPERIAL 290 grand piano.
