Here is a quick sample I did. I am very much not a professionally trained pianist, so disregard any possible vulgarities of my playing! Still, gives an idea of the sound. I don’t know how to submit better sound quality and don’t much have any need to learn Bach WTC 2 Fugue c minor F228dhull100 A lovely sounding piano ! I liked your playing of that section of the Fugue as well.

I did not realise this was about someone buying a Fazioli piano !
Actually I have only heard someone playing a Fazioli in the downtown dealer --wonderful.piano !
dhull 100 wishing you many years of happiness with this gorgeous piano! This is part of the "F" thread section. "S" and "B" are served elsewhere.

Birdeye maple finish on the rim always gets me, I wish I had that on my piano  The tone sounds great in the Bach video. I actually like the F278 a lot, I feel like it has the right balance across all registers (at least the one sitting at Faust Harrison 2 years ago felt that way). However the room the piano is in, the voicing, etc. can all have an effect. I agree Herbie Hancock's doesn't sound very good in the videos I've seen.

Congratulations! F228 is one of my favourite Fazioli models (not that there isn one that I don't like) and got to play one at a concert in Fort Worth a couple of years ago.
Phil is also a great guy.

That is one spectacular piano. It has a magnificent, balanced tone on your Bach recording. More recordings, please! And don't be surprised if you discover you are a better pianist than you ever thought.
Fazioli 228.

We have had a 3 really incredible grands bought recently-- Fazioli, August Forster, and a Bosendorfer. It must be something in the air 🤔

Now with the COVID quarantining, a most wonderful companion to spend hours with!

I asked the guys how business has been, considering the Covid pandemic. They told Me Classic Pianos (where I purchased Mine) has been selling lots & lots of pianos, and they know, because They’ve been delivering them FWIW ~Lucubrate

Congratulations! I also own an F-228 for almost 3 years now and am so grateful for making that decision. The piano remains extraordinary even now when tuned less regularly. Here is a latest recording of it: https://youtu.be/xWAx8kuNm_QI am sure you will have many amazing piano moments! Cheers, Zeljko
