Classic Pianos has been recognized as “Global Bösendorfer Dealer of the Year” during a special ceremony held at the company’s headquarters in Portland.
While Bösendorfer, the world’s oldest premium piano manufacturer had named Classic Pianos its U.S. “Dealer of the Year” in 2019, this is the first time the company has presented this prestigious award to a piano dealer on a worldwide level, citing Classic Pianos’ “global excellence” in the preparation of Bösendorfer pianos, in addition to its impeccably trained and dedicated staff.
Built in Austria, Bösendorfer instruments are known for combining unique hand-crafted piano designs with their unmistakable sound, true to the rich culture of Viennese instruments. Bösendorfer is a fully owned company of Yamaha Corporation, the world’s leading musical instrument manufacturer.
“Classic Pianos is a valuable partner that makes our success possible, representing the vision of our founder, as well as our Viennese heritage to build instruments with the unique and inspiring Bösendorfer sound,” said Sabine Grubmüller, managing director, Bösendorfer. “Classic Pianos not only offers one of the most extensive selections of Bösendorfer instruments anywhere in the world, but it also represents and shapes the Bösendorfer brand in an exemplary manner.”
With a family history of restoring pianos and a passion for the craft, Maurice Unis opened Moe’s Pianos in the mid-70s, which quickly became Portland’s most recognized name in piano sales and service. In 2001, Maurice opened Classic Pianos with his oldest son, Brian, and since then has expanded operations to include a 30,000 sq. ft. showroom and headquarters that’s home to a diverse community of technicians, piano teachers, and a piano moving company, as well an acoustically enhanced recital hall. Today, all three Unis sons have become involved with the business that leads each market they represent, including locations in Portland, Oregon; Bellevue, Washington; Las Vegas, Nevada; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Denver, Colorado; Boston, Massachusetts, and Anchorage, Alaska.
“Our team at Classic Pianos is deeply honored to receive this prestigious award from Bösendorfer,” said Maurice Unis, owner of Classic Pianos. “This achievement commemorates the excellence in sales, service, and representation we strive to provide for this legendary piano maker and to every potential Bösendorfer customer who enters our showroom. We thank our customers for making it possible for us to receive this award.”
