The action of a piano is made up of thousands of parts, each of which contributes to turning the movement of the pianist's fingers into sound.

The Fazioli technicians precisely check and recheck the position of the action to ensure that the hammers hit the string at the optimum percussion point.
Once the position of the action is precisely defined, the side notches and finishing of the casework can be completed.
The high gloss finish of the piano is achieved by spraying a film of polyester onto the case. The polyester used has been especially manufactured for Fazioli.
The sanding of the finished parts is almost entirely done by hand as only the sensitivity of the human hand ensures perfection is achieved on each part of the piano.
The dampers, made of wood and felt, prevent the string from vibrating when the key not in use.
Weighing-off the keyboard standardises the resistance the pianists feels across the keyboard when he presses the keys.
The timbre of the piano is determined by the density of the felt on the hammer head.
