<DIV><BR></DIV>I see Fazer uprights not so seldom. Produced in Finnland and
the brand was taken over by Hellas in 1989. Not bad, but nothing to be proud
of. A warm tone is not the first thing that comes in my mind when I think
about Fazer. But I believe to remember that the hammers react very well to
voicing, so it should be easy to get a worm tone. I wonder if they produced
pianos higher than 110 cm. All Fazers and Hellas I saw were small console
pianos. Once I saw a Hellas with a transparent fallboard made of plexiglas,
very nice. And once I saw a very strange piano with red and yellow keys ( or
was it green and red?) and I think that was a Fazer
too.<BR><BR>Gregor<BR><BR>> From: cy@shusterpiano.com<BR>> To:

interested in any info about the <BR>> brand. Apparently it's about 20
years old and comes from Finland (not Star <BR>> Trek!). It had a warm
tone. Any comments?<BR>> <BR>> --Cy Shuster, RPT--<BR>> ABQ,
