When I first heard the rich, warm and foremost‚ ‘human‘ sound of a Fazioli Concert Grand I was totally overwhelmed. This was something very different compared to every instrument I‘ve seen before. This unbelievable sensitivity, the marvelous touch and these mesmerizing overtones are unique for me to this day.
