[pianotech] Fazioli

[Jim Busby]

Hi Paul,

FWIW I agree with you. I love the workmanship in the Fazioli, but the design, (esp backscale) seems to produce too many upper partials that, to my ear, are undesirable. Maybe it's the "tuning" thing they tout. 

An even better choice than Fazioli or Stenway is a Ron Overs piano, or a Ron Nossaman. Of course Del. IMO these would be a better choice for less than 1/2 the cost! I know Ron O works with Fazioli, but Ron's pianos literally shocked me when I first played one. Then I met Ron N and life changed for me... (I never will rebuiild pianos the same way as before)

Hello, I would recommend you Customer to Buy A New Hamburg Steinway B, Fazioli are nice and
very well constucted and finished off.but Lack Depth and dont have the dynamic Range of a
Hamburg B. I would also suggest to buy and select from the factory if at all possible. You
would have a nice variety of B's to choose from. I have not seen the Steingraeber but
would not consider it at this time in the same leauge.
