Also I had a chance to talk with a touring concert artist who said they  have 
a Fazioli at the conservatory where he works. He described it as  "vulgar". 
He also stated that he prefrered New York Steinway. 






There are 4 Fazioli at PianoForte of Chicago and I have played them all and  
found them to be quite remarkable instruments.  The fit and finish also is  
better than just about anything I have ever seen.  As with all pianos, the  name 
doesn't do the whole job, you need to have someone willing to take the time  
and expense to keep them in top form and Tomas Zoles does just that.  David  
Graham is the tech for these four gems and he is doing a great job.  The  
concert grand has been in great demand at Orchestra Hall and Ravinia since its  
arrival in May.  The show rooms have been used regularly by the  Stradivarius 
Society for their recitals.
 
Mr. Fazioli's piano do have a European sound, you should not expect a  
Steinway sound, it says Fazioli.  Though I would be interested in  hearing one with 
say Isaac or Ronsen hammers, you may find a much more  American sound.
 
Mr. Fazioli has worked diligently to reexamine many aspects of the modern  
piano in an attempt to create the very best instrument possible.  At time  he 
may have taken some less than ideal turns and his pianos continue to  evolve.  
Rather than condemn one of the few manufactures who actually makes  regular 
changes in their instruments to improve them, lets see what we can learn  from 
his efforts.
