"The Fazioli piano is a feat of engineering, a superb instrument capable of delivering into the hands of an artist the ultimate palette with which to express every range of colour and brilliance. A perfected action and a luscious sound – an artist could not ask for more."

"From the moment I touched the keys of the gorgeous Fazioli piano - I knew in an instant something was different. The tone was so rich and warm, yet filled with tremendous power. Its sensitivity was magnified by its striking clarity. I have been in love with Fazioli pianos ever since."

The Fazioli is a very creative piano, it really lets you do all that your imagination wants to do. It has a huge range of colour, from the most powerful sounds to the most delicate sounds – which are all produced with great ease. It is my most precious possession!

“The touch is highly responsive; encouraging and facilitating tonally nuanced playing. Truly a very rewarding artistic experience! I can see why the Fazioli is in demand as a recording instrument as well as for live concerts."

"It was a real joy for me to be introduced to the Fazioli. Such great beauty, lightness of touch, along with a great range of sound makes this piano truly a special one – it's a dream for any concert pianist to perform on."

"Fazioli's attention to detail and intricate workmanship makes every Fazioli piano one of a kind. It satisfies every intention of sound-making and fulfills the dreams of the pianist. Fazioli – a sense of class and taste!"

"Once you get past the visual impact of the craftsman-like elegance of the Fazioli concert grand, you sit down and play a chord - and the piano says "as you like it". It will bring incredible gradations of tone easily, from a shimmering glassy pianissimo to a thundering triple forte. I divide pianos into two categories, the first piano says "anything you say!" and the second says "just try and make me!"

"Playing on a Fazioli It's an incredible experience and a huge sense of quality resounds from any perspective. The manufacture of the keyboard allows such powerful and precise control of the sound that it gives comfortable space to the creation of wider ranges of sounds and dynamics. It's an unbelievable experience to play on an instrument that implicitly helps to shape better the imagination of how a piece of music could be done."

"The Fazioli pianos at Showcase Pianos have an exquisite sound. I was particularly impressed with how responsive they were in reproducing a whispering pianissimo, and they were equally impressive in the larger dynamic range. For the owner of one of these pianos, most people would recognize immediately that you have something unique and very special."

"The crystalline clarity of a Fazioli piano combined with a limitless palette of tonal color gives the performer the ability to fully realize their artistic soul. This is a rare and unique jewel, and an experience not to be missed."

"You cannot help but fall in love with a Fazioli. It is of impeccable quality and incomparable to other pianos. When I first played a Fazioli and realised what a magical sound it was capable of making, it made me break out in a genuine smile right in the middle of my performance. This instrument is every pianists dream – not only because it never fails to be incredibly responsive, but because it really lets you turn your dreams into reality by allowing the player to create the music they hear in their mind."

"Don't you wish you could have been at Joan Sutherland's Italian debut at La Fenice theater in Venice in 1959? Imagine the purity of her tones as she brought the bel canto beauties of 'Lucia' back to Venice for the first time in over 30 years ... The sound is sustained beyond your imagination, just as it might be if you were privileged, like the popes are, to hear the Schola Cantorum Romana sing Palestrina or Pergolesi at its home in the Sistine Chapel. If you can imagine all this, you can imagine what it is like to play a Fazioli."

"What a breath of fresh air. When so much in this world is becoming mass - produced, when everything seems digital, when quality seems to be a long - forgotten term, we can at least see that it doesn't have to be that way. The vision of one man and a team of dedicated people can produce a beacon of beauty for everyone to marvel at."

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing the marvelous 7' Fazioli for the Vetta chamber concert. Having an instrument that possesses such clarity and evenness of tone for the concert allowed me to play with freedom and confidence in the result. It was the first time that I had tried the Fazioli and it certainly lived up to all of the advance press that I had heard and read. It responds reliably, immediately, and has an incredible bass and high treble. The workmanship is second to none. "

"Last week I did the 2nd tuning for the Fazioli F183 in Victoria. What a beautiful piano!! The tenor area is so gorgeous, like a perfect cello. I've never heard anything like it. It was such an enjoyable tuning, the piano almost tunes itself! The family is very happy with the instrument and have abandoned the old upright for family lessons. Everyone in the family uses the Fazioli."

"Fazioli pianos reveal an enchanting world of subtle sonorities unimaginable on other pianos. They draw the player into a state of delicate expressiveness and sensitivity."

"I started with the cheapest pianos, eventually ending up at the keyboard of the F183 Fazioli. I saved it for last because I truly didn't believe it would be that special, and that I would immediately turn back to another instrument that was cheaper and better. But that wasn't to be. It turned out to be as fabulous as the hype would have us believe. I was seduced by a lighter-than-average touch and a warm, expressive sound. Both were consistent from bass to treble. Getting fine dynamic shading in or playing fast runs evenly did seem easier."

"What sets Fazioli apart from other pianos? Resonance, richness of tone, dynamic Range. I know that Mr. Fazioli personally selects only trees that make the best tone. Believe me, this is something that I notice when I play. The Fazioli brand is simply unmatched."

"The Fazioli piano is a most responsive and refined instrument that inspires one to create with the utmost of simplicity, an absolute dream to perform on. Definitely Lesterian!"

"My first experience performing and recording on a luminous Fazioli piano was in Montreal at the historic Chappelle Historique du Bon Pasteur. I was overjoyed to hear decades later that Showcase Pianos had brought these beautifully crafted and silky-sounding pianos into our city. Since then, Showcase Pianos has been generous in supporting young talent by hosting recitals and personally, for sponsoring and providing a Fazioli piano for my upcoming Recital for Hope."

"The Fazioli is every pianist's dream. This piano can sing - cry - scream - and even dance for you. Anything you ask of it - it responds beautifully. Thank you for bringing this incredible "Dream Machine" to Vancouver. It is quite simply the most wonderful piano being made in the world today."

"I tried a Fazioli once. A Fazioli artist was in town, doing a TSO gig (where I used to work) and I was then working for the venue, Roy Thomson and Massey Hall. No one was around except some lighting crew; the Fazioli was there, on stage off to the side, challenging me to do something about it. It's like Mt. Everest, you know? "Because it's THERE." So I played it. And played it. Oh god. My eyes rolled back into my head. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is; I can't keep going because it would have to be censored. I quietly left the stage, heart pounding ...."

"Fazioli has a very limited production, so they make sure that everything is impeccable – the action is so fluid, so even – it's almost like a massage for a pianist! "

"I liked the Fazioli in Calgary during the Honens International Piano Competition very much and had a good collaboration with the Fazioli technician Michael Lipnicki. Unfortunately I don't have a chance to play Fazioli pianos often however I just love playing them. They offer an vast range of possibilities, very creative pianos. Wish I could play Fazioli more often".

"I've played a lot of amazing pianos over my 20-year career - each of them exceptional in their own right. The first time I sat down to a FAZIOLI, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. The warmth of the tone, the easy camaraderie between my hands and the keys, and the subtle nuances floored me. It felt like home, like an extension of my own body. And that's an incredible experience!"

"The Fazioli piano embodies the true spirit, essence and magic of the pianist. I have never felt so blessed and filled with joy when playing a piano in my life. I believe there is no limit to what a pianist can achieve on a Fazioli."

"The Fazioli is the most sensitive instrument you can get. It's the kind of instrument that gives you exactly what you want from it, which is at once intimidating and empowering. You can really use it to make beautiful music on a whole new level."

"Words really can't properly express my enthusiasm for these incredible instruments. I have played many hundreds of instruments in my 28 years of professional music making, and I can honestly say that the Fazioli is simply the finest instrument I have ever had the privilege to play."

"Fazioli piano lets me express more than I could ever imagine. My music sounds absolutely better on the Fazioli and the buttery sound that it creates makes me want to never stop playing..."

"I was very impressed with the overall presentation, style, high quality of technology of the Fazioli and Bechstein Pianos. The tone of the elegant Fazioli is unique, crystal clean, and at the same time incredibly rich and powerful . Very sensitive action-absolutely amazing. Obviously, Fazioli is a new generation for the piano industry, and it's a great privilege and joy to play on this spectacular instrument."

"The Fazioli is a dream to play and literally made to perfection. It has the highest quality of workmanship; from its dazzling sound, to its majestic presence."

"This is my first time to have the experience of making music on a Fazioli piano. What an awesome piano – the best I have ever played in my life! The time flies by and I get lost in its awesome sound. The sound and touch of the entire keyboard is so consistent. It responds in a way I have never felt on other pianos. I am getting so spoiled! I happily express my enthusiasm for the Fazioli piano – it is the best I have ever heard!"

“Playing on a Fazioli piano truly inspires music out of my soul. There's nothing like a Fazioli! So blessed to be able to play on such exquisite instruments, it is one of the BEST feelings in the world! Fazioli pianos have hands-down taken the lead of craftsmanship and performance. I honestly get goose-bumps when playing the Fazioli, it just pulls the music right out of me and it's really hard to go back to playing anything else.”

"I spent my b-day in Vancouver trying out as many concert grand pianos as I could find. Maybe that sounds like a strange way to spend a birthday, but for me, it's like being in heaven for a day. The pianos that stood out, I mean, sparkled like diamonds in a bag of charcoal dust, are called Fazioli and they are made in Italy. I had to lean way back while playing on them because I didn't want to get drool all over the keys."

"I always thought my German grand piano was the next step to Heaven – until I played a Fazioli grand… I look forward to recording a CD on such a uniquely inspiring instrument which clearly towers in a class of it's own!"

"I have long admired Paolo Fazioli for having immersed himself in the worthy quest of creating the world's finest piano. I enthusiastically share the opinion of others who feel he has indeed accomplished his goal."

"The Fazioli is truly the best piano in the world. I have heard and played many pianos and a few piano-shaped objects. The Fazioli outshines them all, with beautiful tone, total responsiveness, and awesome power. I begged my parents to buy one for me. So now I have a gorgeous 7' Fazioli to make music with, and it will be my constant companion for the rest of my life."

“When I was rehearsing last night, the piano reminded me of a fine Bordeaux, like a Margaux or a Pauillac, which is powerful yet well-balanced, supple, and structured. What I love about Fazioli that other top pianos don’t offer is the clarity of registers throughout. The deep, roaring bass never drowns out the top as the top shines with its crystalline brilliance, while the middle register is full-bodied to keep things balanced.”

"Every Fazioli piano is a work of art with perfectly balanced sonority and a smooth registry. They are never mechanical instruments - instead, they make me feel like I'm singing from my fingers!"
