Just think of what those pianos are going to sound like in 25 years, 50 years, 75 years. They will undeniably be some of the finest pianos ever made in history. As a technician who works on Steinway, I know that these pianos are not broken in yet. They will be twice as good years down the line.

Who you make the piano for is also a huge question that affects the way the piano is built. Pianos are built for the shareholders, if you think about it. Bosendorfer is owned by Yamaha since it's bankruptcy in 2007, and since 2009 the biggest chunk of Steinway's shares are owned by Samick, the Korean piano maker. Mr. Fazioli is the only shareholder of his company - - - don't you think that affects how the pianos are made?

I agree totally, when you hear the Fazioli the first time its like a superpiano, with extra harmonic sweetness and beauty that immediatley convinces that this piano is a revelation!

Fazioli and Bosendorfer... I wish to be lucky enough to be able to CONSIDER owning one of these.

ye,unbelievable piano! I met Paolo,the instrument is just as warm as his personality

A Fazioli is my DREAM piano.

I actually have a Fazioli at home. Practicing about an hour a day. My dad who is an active piano player him self bought the Fazioli in 1992. It is a F228 number 332 produced and it is a fantastic piano! Each time I play on a Steinway it is a big disappointment, because the clarity and the mass of the sound in Fazioli is way greater. You really should think about the comment you left here. It seems like you are a jealous Steinway fan.

Aaaahhh, i want one of these!!

Making pianos for 150 years and dominating the concert stage only means that people have been conditioned to believing this is the right sound. When you try something different, it's like driving someone else's car: steering is weird, pedals are wrong. It's not true though, but it feels like that. The Fazioli has tremendous colour in the sound - - - an elegance that in my opinion can't be reached by any other brand in the world. You just have to sit at the keys long enough to be able to see it.

amazing!!! the fazioli action is soooo fast!!!

I bet my favorite pianist Glenn Gould would've loved to play on this piano.....

I wonder if there is a place in Switzerland where I could try it personally - even I never can afford it :-(

Considering the staggering attention they give every tiny detail, $100,000 is a very good deal.

was that Haydn that Angela Hewitt was playing? She's got it right..its a modern Fortepiano..which is really cool.

@thejollyroger2 it's the first nocturne of Chopins Op. 9, if you mean that, what he played after the second Op. 9.

my school just bought a few!

buenísimo...:)

@felipescalador yes! they start around $100,000 - - - and they are an absolute dream!

what's the name of the song played after the nocturne, near 1:16 :)??

@bludika Faziolis are one of the most costly pianos in the world to produce because of the quality of the materials and the quality of the workmanship! I encourage you to try one when you get a chance!

beautiful! one day I will own a grand fazioli.. how do they cost like 100k?

@mark4ever01 It's Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso op. 28 for violin and piano by Saint-Saens. Really cool piece. On another note, I'd give my left bollock for one of this.

@fairastits try one and you will know!! in my mind there is no question!!

they really are amazing. Ive played quite a few and I would take any fazioli over a steinway model d

@OneGreatPiano what exactly makes fazilio's so expensive and prestigious?

My school just got the F308 last week... playing it is like having to trying out for the Olympics (even being a pianist like me) its hard to be aloud to play one note -_-

what's the piece at 3:47 ???

wait wow 3:29 she mentioned a brand name

what's the song in the beginning?

@Handeltasche Well, Bosendorfer as a company is no more since their bankruptcy.... Now owned by Yamaha, one of the biggest companies in the world... so, if you say "there is only one company.... Yamaha", then maybe that is more accurate!! :)

I would take the base model fazioli over a steinway model d

Sounds ok from the video, Its just nip picking, to be honest every grand piano sounds great if its maintained well and kept in tune.

+DeanoPiano And every piano has a slightly different color. I know it because at the university we have types of piano, steinway, yamaha, bösendorfer, fazioli, Bechstein, Grotian-Steinweg… They're all incredible pianos to play on. The steinway, fazioli and Bösendorfer being my favorites but they vary slightly in color.

DeanoPiano Yes, but still it's great difference in sound signature from piano to piano. And the action is quite different. It's not the same experience to play a mass produced piano and hand crafted pianos. Steinway and Mason and Hamlin have a rounder tone than European brands. The best crafted pianos can last a century or more. But cheaply crafted pianos can't last more than 20 to 40 years. It's not worth restoring a Indonesian or Chinese made piano.

@rtworincinerator Chopin nocturne op. 9 n. 2

theres only one company.........bösendorfer

Beethoven

Fazioli and Bosendorfer are sublime to play. I am not a fan of Steinway or Yamaha.

@crustylion321 Steinway ceased to be the world's greatest piano about 60 years ago - if indeed they every actually were. There are several other brands including Fazioli which are all better than Steinway in so many ways I don't even know where to start. If you're going to sing the praises of something, you should at least learn about it.

makes no sense whatsoever.
