Italian piano maker Paolo Fazioli plays our concert grand FAZIOLI 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.

For many pianists—beginner, intermediate or advanced—the holiday season brings a mix of joy and pressure: guests come, schedules shift, practice time can drop. But with a little intentionality, you can use this period as a springboard rather than a pitfall.
When it comes to selecting, caring for, or upgrading a piano, brand heritage and construction quality play a huge role. Here we take a look at two major names in the field: Yamaha and Hailun.
There’s a subtle shift that happens in homes as we move from the rich tones of autumn into the sparkle of December. Your piano space doesn’t have to stay static—it can evolve with the season.
