Maintenance and care Maintenance The Bösendorfer CEUS was purposefully designed so that voicing and tuning can be performed prac- tically identically to a typical grand piano. The fallboard may be removed, like on a normal grand pi- ano. No cables are connected to the piano. For careful removal of the keyboard, a data cable on the interior wall of the piano’s bass side must be removed. -
