Fazioli (IPA: [fatsi'ɔli]) is a piano manufacturing company based in Sacile, Italy.
Fazioli currently produces 110 pianos a year from its one factory, and has annual revenues of €6 million.
History
In 1978, Paolo Fazioli, an engineer and pianist, brought together a team of specialist technicians, including mathematicians, acoustic physicists, wood technologists, piano makers and pianists to "define the process for the construction of a conceptually new piano". Fazioli Pianoforti s.r.l. was formally established in January 1981.
Models
They currently offer six models of grand pianos, the largest being the Fazioli F308, which at 3.08 m (10 ft 2 in) in length is the longest piano available on the general market.
The Fazioli is noted for its inclusion of a fourth pedal on the F308. This pedal brings the hammers closer to the strings, decreasing the volume while maintaining the normal tone.
