Introducing the pre-owned Fazioli F228 grand piano c.2000
Measuring 228cm or 7'6" long, the handcrafted Fazioli F228 is a stunning semi-concert grand piano, a wonderful choice of instrument for the larger auditorium or performance venue and described by Fazioli themselves as perfect for chamber music. This piano is a particularly rare find - a concert sized performance instrument manufactured in c.2000 and privately owned from new. It is in truly remarkable condition, with very little wear on the hammers and gleaming cabinetry, supplied with its original cover and care pack including a key for the lock.
Fazioli pianos are very special instruments indeed, produced exclusively by hand in Sacile, Northeastern Italy in extremely limited numbers of around 150 pianos per year. The attention to the most minute of details is extraordinary, from the 24-carat gold plated fittings to the poplar veneered inner rim and beautifully finished and veneered backframe. Featuring a Renner action and an Italian 'Ciresa' soundboard of specially selected white alpine spruce, the F228 is a remarkably powerful and resonant piano, with a wonderfully controlled and balanced touch, certain to perfectly convey the nuances of even the most demanding repertoire.
The Fazioli company was founded in 1981 by Paolo Fazioli, with the goal of producing exclusively grand pianos of uncompromised quality, from only the finest possible materials, striving for technical excellence with constant innovation. The company is also very environmentally aware, with their own green energy making up a third of all power used at the manufacturing facility, and this alone saves one ton of carbon dioxide for each piano produced, approximately 150 tons per year.
