I love Paolo Fazioli being surprised that somebody is actually using the sostenuto pedal. 😅

[@wuwupiano]

Sorry you are mistaken. He was talking about the middle pedal, not the Sostenuto.

[@kallekoivisto5103]

I know he uses a different word for it but the sostenuto pedal is the middle pedal in most pianos and what Nahre is playing is sounds like that is what's being used. Maybe you confused the word with sustain pedal?

[@frazzledude]

He is a fascinating person. After the 2019 NAMM show he came to my home and autographed and played my Fazioli 10 foot concert grand. I got to talk with him for about two and a half hours. As a piano enthusiast, it was an exciting and informative afternoon for me.

[@purplefishy8164]

@@frazzledude amazing story!

[@robertowolfo2128]

I don't even have a middle pedal.

[@Daphoid]

What a fun journey. You have the same energy for piano that Adam Neely has for Bass, Mary Spender for Guitar, and Rob Scallon for every instrument on the planet. What joy.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@leif1075]

@@NahreSol Yes thank you. Will you be traveling to other places to share more exotic and unique instruments with us or has this inspired you to write a "floating" piano sonata?? Hope to hear from you.

[@jamesrawlins735]

@@NahreSol Curious if you have played the 92 key or 97 key Bosendorfer (Oscar Peterson fell in love with the 290 Imperial) - or even more surprising, the Stuart and Sons 102 key and 108 key pianos - and if you did what did you think of any of them?

[@peterharrison5833]

@@jamesrawlins735 When I was stationed in Japan with the United States Air Force Band of the Pacific-Asia @ Yokota Air Base, I got to play on three of them while we were on tour. Absolutely fabulous pianos. Something I will never forget.

[@jackbaker9023]

Thank you Nahre! I enjoyed this video. I noticed that even though you were playing only Faziols, they all had there own unique sound qualities - so nice.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!! I agree - they also felt differently on the fingers as well…

[@koshersalaami]

My favorite adjective for the music was Reflective for the mirrored piano

[@ulyseslozano5389]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you

[@PbPomper]

Fazioli are my favorite!

[@lacroquetarecords]

Ferrari and Fazioli italy is great 🥹

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks for letting us travel with you like this. So nice! 🙌🏼 I can sense a fraction of what it must’ve been like for you. I recently met David Klavins, the maker of the Una Corda, and we went through my whole piano. I definitely know what you mean when you say it changes you.

[@VanJazzFan]

I'm a native Vancouverite, and I had no idea that there were so many custom build Fazioli pianos around town. Thanks for sharing this, and thanks to Westbank CEO Ian Gillespie for commissioning these stunning instruments.

[@johncotta8288]

This is really cool! The piano is an amazing piece of machinery especially that the basics are still the same from 200 years before. You met Paolo Fazioli that's amazing! You know that as far as meeting the original founder of a piano company, the other companies' founders are long gone. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!!!

Wait until you learn about church organs

[@matchbox2736]

Don't know about Paolo Fazioli choice of placement of initials half way down his shirt. I thought he was showing Nahre, a coffee stain.

[@splashesin8]

Wow! This was a fun tour! Thank you Nahre, for taking us along❣️❤️

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!! 😃😃😃

[@manuelm5664]

I see the origami white Fazioli grand piano when I walk by the Fairmont waterfront hotel lounge in downtown Vancouver, Canada. I'd like to play it one day when the restaurant is empty, haha! Thanks for showing all these unique pianos! 🎹👏👏👏👏👍

[@tuongvyhoangnhat860]

imagine take that mirrored cloud piano out in a starry night and play :))))

[@raymitchell9736]

Floating piano attached to a wall... that has to be some serious reinforcement to hold up the weight cantilevered out that far... I'm sure that's not as easy as they made it appear. Anyway, a great video as usual, and it must had been a lot of fun to go over there and get to see all of that and go to a piano factory. WOW!

[@AdventuresWithAria]

That iron case weighs around 6,000 pounds! As much as a Bentley! It's crazy!

[@RY-fe3rt]

All fun and games until it detaches and comes down on your lap / foot... 😁

[@wada-wada]

It is the wall piano

[@GizzyDillespee]

I remember being in a 7.something earthquake in Seattle. Vancouver seems to be in the same sort of geological hot spot. Hopefully we'll never know how many Richters will dislodge the floater.

[@raymitchell9736]

@@GizzyDillespee me too, I was in the 6.9 or 7.0 in the S.F. Bay Area in 1989... I'll never forget that; terrifying! I hope nobody is playing the piano when it hits and then goes underneath it.

[@txtronix5201]

Once I helped my piano teacher make a google website showcasing fun and quirky looking pianos called and this reminded me so much of that

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

I have subscribed and I am a piano-tuner/technician for 47 plus years and have tuned upwards of 25,000 pianos and I love doing it more at 70! I tuned a Fazioli piano a few months ago that the customer said they bought for $160,000. Anyway I'll keep watching your content here from now on!

[@shodapad07]

I visited their shop in Vienna. I played for a long time. Lovely sound and premium price. I got home to read about how much of a rare opportunity I had. Thank God for the chance and the graciousness of the workers there on that day.

[@mwflanagan1]

Wow! This was fantastic, Nahre. What a great job you have - investigating with love, learning lessons along the way, and exposing elements we’ve never even thought of. Really appreciate all the effort that goes into both your videos and your music. Thank you.

[@Otis-Isom]

when I saw all these pianos I thought of characters in a tv show. The floating one is definitely the main character

[@morkmon]

wish that the improvisations at the different pianos were longer

[@GaiaMoto]

Thank you for taking us with you! Extraordinary impressions.

[@georgedovel3951]

Lovely video! Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

[@carlitos5336]

Thank you Nahre for sharing this video. It was super interesting.

[@emathews1]

I really enjoyed the connections you made with pianos and architecture, both inside and out.

[@ariweaver1543]

Thank you so much for taking us on this trip! I had no idea these different pianos existed, but they were each so captivating. Even though I’ll probably never be able to afford a Fazioli, just hearing about some of the details about piano construction will still inform how I interact with the pianos I can afford. I anticipate that even today’s practice will feel a little different with this new knowledge, even if it’s just on the digital piano I can afford right now. Thanks again! :)

[@wuwupiano]

Wow. Faziolis sound amazing. I'm still hankering to play one of these. Someone please send one to Australia for me.

[@seamtaro]

I actually saw a lot of these, browsing pianos and these unique pianos are very intriguing and really interesting to look at. Really love that you made this video tackling some of these really unique pianos, piano qualities and handling.

[@evelynyturralde4113]

I loved your video and the custom-composed pieces you played inspired by the look of each piano! I like the descriptive adjectives for each styled piece, and how they appeared one-by-one so we had a good chance to read each and not miss anything. I had to agree with the words you chose! I also appreciate your brief tour through the Fazioli factory and the informative highlights you shared! Added educational value to this video. There was a piano store in San Francisco that featured Fazioli pianos and hosted a regular mini concert by jazz pianists, who were all clamoring to get a chance to play on one! The evenness of tone from top to bottom is really amazing! Thank you for sharing this trip!

[@CharlieRiceMusic]

What a joy it would be to have a cool piano, and Nahre asks to play it. Um, YEAH!

[@southpark4151]

On the optimistic side of things ----- a floating one is better than a sinking one! And 1:57 ----- that one will never over-heat with the nice cooling fins. And 3:12 ---- very nice soft serve ice cream cone! 3:41 - barnacles! And 4:40 --- cup holder! And wow ----- the 4:42 - luckily they didn't get snapped off when attempting to use them hehe

[@DJHolte]

Just wonderful, Nahre! Thank you for sharing this. Going to share with my fellow piano-playing siblings.

One of your best videos!! ... Just like all your other videos.

[@renatocann5142]

Love it, thanks for the inside peek Nahre! So cool seeing the manufacturing side. While I didn't care for any of those designs I love the idea of novel exteriors that don't compromise the sound. And of course always a delight to hear you play!

[@MarcelHuguenin]

Hi Nahre, thank you for this wonderful excursion to the world of Fazioli. It must have very fascinating to be in their factory. As far as I remember, the Franz Liszt competition in the Netherlands was the first to have Fazioli pianos and that's when I got to know about them in 1986.

[@felixalex3966]

3:15 the change to a major is so beautiful

[@ikemyung8623]

Very cool and well done. I agree that such an encounter can radically change one's relationship with an instrument.

[@irissagar1080]

So cool!! The improvisations were do true to the pianos. Really really enjoyed the first one

[@hashx6360]

Beautiful video, i like the fact that you also make videos that aren’t focused on technical part of music. Those new designs reflect the advancement in designers mindsets and collectors taste as well. Nice dress btw ! … Thanks for the tour 🌸

[@russaz09]

I'm playing as much with the middle pedal as I can tonight. This video has inspired me

[@squurdixplays8137]

This is why i love pianos so much, they are so complex to build, and there goes so much precision in building one.

[@enchiladas1875]

Owning a Fazioli seems like a dream to me, but I want to make it a reality one day. They're very nice.

[@DojoOfCool]

Yay Fazoli!!!!! My favorite pianist Herbie Hancock is a Fazoli pianist so that is enough for me, but I do love the Fazoli sound very defined notes and great low end response. Fazoli records well because of their well defined sound, some bigger fuller pianos don't record well because all that fullness muddies the sound to a microphone and recording gear.

[@nimitng5922]

What a beautiful tour and video. This is one of my favorite channels... I only wish the videos were longer!

[@Rubrickety]

I knew pianos were complex, of course, but 12,000 parts boggles the mind. That’s over 130 parts _per key_ 😯

[@g3cd]

You should visit the Hamburg MKG museum that has on permanent exhibition most of the 300-year old pianos you were showing in this video. The Hamburg University of rMusic and Theatre HFMT did concerts on those instruments once a month (before the pandemic), so if you get in touch with them, they might be able to arrange for you to be allowed to actually play on those very, very old instruments.

[@ornleifs]

Loved this - very interesting designs and the Faziolis are such good pianos.

6:11 Before I discover Alice in wonderland, I used to genuinely type in the youtube search "Nahre Sol's style" hoping to find more music with that sound, this classy, modern, light, monochrome with bursts of colour... I simply love it. They are fragmented all over your videos, but even though the samples are short in length, for me they definitely made an impression.

[@unequally-tempered]

I can improve the sound of the Fazioli piano by tuning. I tune so that there is better resonance and it's a system I've been developing since 2005. It makes a lot of difference

[@accipiterignitus5123]

I love this video! ❤️

[@Dogsnark]

Fascinating! I don’t play the piano😢, but I love your videos. Each one is so interesting - I learn a lot. Thank you for the work you put into each one.

[@johnrolle6645]

OMG! Nahre! So great! I am not a pianist but really enjoy and admire the instrument and its practitioners. I worked as a piano mover and got to see up close in the store there tuners and artisans working on restoring instruments. Unfortunately for me I dropped a grand when doing a house move and got fired. Anyway.... at the time I thought how enriching it would be for pianists in a conservatory to work or do internships for a summer or semester as part of their curriculum. You have found your niche but I would imagine so many in your discipline would make wonderful artisans should they not end up on the concert circuit or what have you. My boss back then shared with me that at one time, in Indiana alone, there were over one hundred different piano makers manufacturing instruments. That's over 100 different brands of the piano. Blew my mind to learn that. And you are blowing mine a little here. Wow, thanks! Your brand of curiosity is the kind of contagion we could use more of.

[@rootstudio247]

I have seen some artsy pianos at the music fair in Frankfurt. But more impressive than that was the sound of hundreds of pianos being banged on simultaneously. What an experience!
