Paolo Fazioli now with his son Luca finetunes the art of piano making

The majestic red spruce growing in the Val Di Fiemme of Italy's Dolomites has been prized by instrument makers for centuries. Some of the best planks wind up at the piano factory of Paolo Fazioli, a pianist and engineer turned piano maker. Seth Doane speaks to Fazioli in his factory in the Italian town of Sacile, 40 minutes north of Venice, about his meticulous work, which began 40 years ago.

Glad they make so few of them. The forest needs the big trees. Beautiful piano tone. Herbie Hancock gives a big thumbs up. He knows. Thanks.

These pianos are beyond anything else in the world. So is their price tag!!!

I've played all the Fazioli models in Germany at the Frankfurt fair in 2018...It was difficult to tell in all the.sound there. This year in in February in Bangkok I played a 278 amd was a bit out of tune. The tone was ok. In May at Parson's music I played the 183 the 212 and the 278...The best was the 278.. I have all the recordings. I'm not sure if it has the complexity of some other European pianos but it's a beautiful powerful sound. I wish they had a concert upright piano.132 cms or more... I wonder how the Faizioli would compare with the Borgato piano..Both Italian.

C.Bechstein also uses Val Di Fiemme for concert grand~~

Hancock / Fazioli beautiful

[@jorgeandrade20]

Fazioli pianos are fantastic, however, Boesendorfer has been using spruce from Val di Fiemme since 1828

[@markhomiak6966]

And soon, like Brazilian rosewood, it will all be gone....

Vill gärna se igen.

When you buy one don’ forget to play it with a mask, is a better sound.
