FAZIOLI Pianos

Fazioli pianos are rare because they are produced in very limited numbers, compared to other piano brands. Fazioli pianos only produce about 140 pianos a year, using the best materials and techniques. The company was founded in 1981 by Paolo Fazioli, who wanted to create the finest grand pianos possible. 


He and his team of craftsmen build each piano by hand, with great attention to detail and quality. Each piano can take up to two years to complete. Fazioli pianos also offer six different models of different lengths, as well as custom designs and art cases. Because of their rarity, quality and variety, Fazioli pianos are highly sought after by pianists and collectors around the world.


Luca Fazioli is the son of Paolo Fazioli, the founder of Fazioli pianos. He is involved in the production and promotion of the pianos, and sometimes visits colleges that have Fazioli pianos. For example, he visited Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR in June 2022 to inspect their Fazioli piano. He also visited Northwest Pianos in Bellevue, WA during that time.
