FAZIOLI F156 (5'2")

This is the smallest of the Fazioli series. Despite its dimensions, this piano has a notably powerful and clear sound. This piano is suitable for situations in which a larger piano is not suitable and when the player does not wish to renounce to the sound and the action of a high-quality grand piano.

FAZIOLI pianos were first developed nearly 40 years ago by Paolo Fazioli, a pianist and engineer who wanted to create a piano that was significantly better than anything in existence. FAZIOLI makes around 140 pianos a year and each one takes more than 3 years to make. Sophisticated manufacturing techniques, woods of the highest quality and first rate components are used by the Fazioli technicians. Many of the parts are plated in 24K gold to prevent corrosion. FAZIOLI pianos feature many innovations - the sum of which has caused the pianos to be hailed as the absolute 'pinnacle' of the piano world. The heart of each FAZIOLI - the soundboard - is taken from the same trees in northern Italy's 'Val di Fiemme' forest where Antonio Stradivari once carved his wood for his famous violins. All six sizes have the option of being ordered with a fourth pedal patented by Fazioli Pianoforti, which allows the pianist to soften the sound without changing the voice or timbre.

FAZIOLI is considered the finest piano in the world. The Juilliard School in New York recently purchased a FAZIOLI for their concert hall.
