    It is really touching watching an artist being that profoundly inspired by his/her instrument. If I had the money, I'd like to buy me a FAZIOLI. If I had even more money, I would buy that Fazioli for Mr. Niemczuk.

      @@gregniemczuk Sadly, you are perfectly right. It's paradoxical that the artists, who only are able to play these instruments properly, cannot afford them ...

      ​@@oneirdaathnaram1376This is exactly what has been bothering me for decades. Knowing lots of fairly rich people myself, I see them buy expensive grands for furniture purposes and for showing of in their office buildings without being able to play one single note themselves. So to all those who have these (tens of) millions: choose a favorite musician and donate him or her the instrument they've always dreamt of. Not only talk the talk but also walk the walk, gather some friends and donate this absolutely beautiful and passionate musician a Fazioli

    This is what is difficult to convey to someone who doesn't play the piano and can't comprehend why anyone would spend so much money on this particular model.
    As pianists we hear and feel so much when practicing.

    While at Piedmont piano co. I had the chance to sit down at each of these including the Fazioli. That was a few years ago. But each left an impression on me, including thee Fazioli which just recently was the only concert grand left in the shop. Right away I notice the Bosendorfer sound is right on top of the harp and in front of you, the others all seemed somewhere in between, slightly above or below thee harp. I did notice on the Fazioli a bit more of a unique dampening from sustained to dampened or Sostenuto that caught my interest, though the sound is a little bit trapped below the harp, and obviously there is a difference between old and new piano hammers not yet well worn. I purchased the CLP-785 which has all three of these piano samplings. after renting the NU1, and the action or touch is quite remarkable, but there is still nothing like feeling actual strings or dampening through the keys.

    "I almost have tears in my eyes
    when I touch this piano ... "
    So ging es mir auch, als ich auf der
    Suche nach "meinem" Instrument war.
    Ich hatte bereits Steinway "B", ESTONIA 210
    oder Bösendorfer dieser Größe in meiner
    Vorauswahl. Diese Flügel hätten auch in
    den Aufzug gepaßt ...
    Doch ein Händler hatte auch einen
    gebrauchten FAZIOLI F278 in der
    Ausstellung, den ich nur aus
    Interesse ausprobieren wollte.
    Ich saß ewig an dem Instrument,
    Kommentar des Händlers:
    "So sieht jemand aus, der sein
    Instrument gefunden hat."
    Auf der Heimfahrt hatte ich auch
    Tränen in den Augen; und letztlich
    habe ich mir diesn Traum von
    einem Flügel erfüllen müssen.
    Ich habe andere Konzertflügel
    verglichen: Bösendorfer, Steinway D,
    Bechstein, ...
    Aber keiner hat mich so gerührt und
    gefesselt wie der F278.
    Dieser Flügel inspiriert, bietet ein
    Spektum an Klangfarben, daß es
    man sich darin verlieren könnte.
    Ich habe noch nie so viel Zeit am
    Klavier verbracht wie von dem
    Moment an, an dem der F278 bei
    mir steht.
    Und auch als Konzertflügel ist er
    nicht zu groß für ein Wohnzimmer,
    denn er bietet eine wunderbare
    Palette von ppp bis mf.
    Bestens als Kammermusikflügel
    und für Liedbegleitung geeignet!
    PS
    ESTONIA baut auch wunderbare
    Instrumente, die ich insbesondere
    unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Preise
    als wirkliche Alternative zu den
    bekannten und etablierten Herstellern
    sehe.
    Leider gibt es in Deutschland keinen
    Vertrieb, sodaß man ESTONIAs in
    Tallin kaufen muß ...

    Even as a virtual instrument (in this case, the VI Labs True Keys Italian, modelled after the F308), Faziolis are just a different thing on their own. I trust my serious playing on this sound. And I get your explanation on the touch being able to paint different colours. Funny thing that such a large piano - the largest, even - can make the smallest sounds.
    In his interview with James Pavel Shawcross (this one: ruclips.net/video/2qCdzT69XsY/видео.html), Paolo Fazioli said it once that his pianos derive their sound from the Italian language - specifically the tradition of belcanto singing in Italian opera (he says "clear, elegant, long sustain, big dynamic range, remember (sic) the Italian language").

    You can hear the difference, very expressive and singing. Curious as to the feel of the action. Is it lighter than Steinway, more like Yamaha? Yamaha is easier to play but at the same time harder to control. But the sound is like a metal barrel, not good on the cheaper models. This Fazioli more than makes up for the one with swallowed sound! Happy playing!🎹🎹🎹

    On a more practical level (not in the $$$$$$$ range), I was at a piano recital recently where a grand (a few inches shorter than a concert model) was the instrument and the award winning pianist's talents were not shining through - almost certain the same instrument (it was the same venue) was played by an equally talented pianist 12 or so months ago, and the piano sounded a lot better - the make of piano I won't reveal - perhaps the piano has not been maintained/regulated properly in recent months - anyway, never take for granted a good sounding piano in a public recital - most of the time, everything comes right and the many dedicated tuners/technicians must take credit for that - I can say the piano concerned was not a Fazioli - not to maintain a Fazioli properly would be borderline criminal !
