I'm partial to the Bosendorfer Imperial for booming bass sounds (and, in theory, you can actually but one), but the Alexander piano is a very cool experiment.

- fortran77 3y agoI have a Bösendorfer in my living room and I can assure you it doesn't "boom" at least when I play it. It's more of a rich, full sound, more on the mellow side.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoMost Bösendorfers play like nice, tame European pianos. The average American Steinway "booms" more. However, the extra low notes on their oversized concert grand do boom quite well. I have only been able to play one, though.
- dheera 3y agoI've played a couple of Bosendorfers including an Imperial and the best I can describe it is that the lower end of the standard 88 keys produce very clean, solid bass sound and don't "fart". It's less about "booming" and more about just a very clean bass sound. The extra keys below the 88 do go into bass-fart territory, though. (For those who don't know, Bosendorfer Imperials have 97 keys, the extra ones all going deeper into the low range).
