Here’s a rare opportunity to acquire one of the world’s most refined parlor-sized grands. Built in Sacile, Italy over a period of 2-3 years with an MSRP of over $164K, this completely handcrafted piano has had a single owner who is a concert pianist living in the Pacific Northwest since 2017. It has been pampered and meticulously maintained in a climate-controlled environment. Only Fazioli-certified technicians have serviced the instrument.

Signed by Paolo Fazioli himself, it remains in showroom-like condition with:

• Italian red spruce for the soundboard (used in Stradivarius violins)
• Original Abel hammers
• Customized Renner keyboard action
• 24-karat gold-plated fittings
• State-of-the-art bridge work containing hard rock maple, hornbeam and hard boxwood

Included accessories are:

• 2 Fazioli concert benches (adjustable artist and hydraulic)
• 2 embroidered Fazioli covers (leather-look vinyl and velvet)
• 1 custom-made floor-length cover
• 1 custom-made industrial strength floor-length cover (with side bumpers) for storage
• 1 custom-made music desk cover
• 1 Fazioli music desk cover
• 1 set of leather pedal guards
• Heating rods with thermostat control for high humidity climates
• 2 Fazioli 24-karat gold-plated lock keys

Among the Fazioli community—authorized dealerships, technicians, performers and connoisseurs—it is widely agreed that the presence of sound of this piano's original Abel hammers—with its "bel canto" tone—is unique in comparison to other Fazioli grands with Renner hammers. These Abel hammers create long sustain, clarity, and a vocal-like resonance, allowing this F183 to balance intimacy of scale with concert-level refinement. Whether for the collector, the performer, or the institution, this instrument represents the pinnacle of classic and modern piano craftsmanship.

Faziolis can be found in major piano competitions such as Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Sydney International and Artur Rubinstein as well as in conservatory settings of The Juilliard School, Paris Conservatory, Royal College of Music (London), and the Colburn School (Los Angeles), to name just a few.

You can see this piano by appointment.

NOTE:

1. The YouTube link included with the listing here is part of a playlist featuring supporting information on this Fazioli F183. The video clip is a pastiche of pictures and videos accompanied by a soundtrack of the final movement of the Franck Violin Sonata played on that instrument by the concert pianist owner in collaboration with a professional violinist; it is one of a number of selections on an audio CD, The Beauty of a Violin and Piano, where the F183 was showcased in a chamber music setting.

2. The shipping costs vary, especially when it involves different geographic locations and piano moving company costs. For this reason, I have not fixed a price on the delivery. It will have to be arranged individually depending on your circumstances.
