SChool project, measurements bosendorfer piano, need help
on: October 23, 2006, 01:24:20 PM
Hello
As part of my senior year of my education master multimedia- and communication technology, i have to model some stuff in a 3D-environment.
Since I love playing piano and I love ¨Bösendorfers, I chose to model the Bösendorfer Porsche design. Now at first sight this seems to be the normal measurements of a Bösendorfer grand (i think it's a 137 cm grand).
There's an image of the magnifficent piano over here:
So my question is, could anyone over here provide me with some measurements from this piano or any ressembling piano? like height, depth, height of the keyboard, etc....
It would greatly improve the realistic character of the modeling, and cut down the modeling time since the assignment is due to november 15th
Thanks in advance
Greetz

The Porshe model you have pictured is of a 214 model grand.
It measures 214 cm in length.
It measures 151.1 cm wide.
It measures 110 cm from the floor to the top of the lid when the lid is in the closed(down)position.
It measures 72.9 cm from the floor to the top of the natural keys.

that's a really nice looking piano. too bad it's so small. is this for some kind of curio cabinet? or is it a radio/alarm clock?

no no
it's an actuall grand piano...just designed by porsche
the porsche design group says that "altough the design is different, the sound has been kept the same"
and if it isn't...175 000 euro is awfully a lot of money for a curio
