After careful consideration of many notable concert grand pianos, JAPRA ENTERTAINMENT has selected the FAZIOLI F308 model, the finest concert grand piano of choice for our albums, shows, concerts, theatrical productions and tours. Measuring at a staggering length of 10 feet and 3 inches, this masterpiece of unrivaled sound is the largest concert grand piano in production in the world.
Designed for large spaces, particularly more modern large-capacity concert halls, this concert grand piano is the absolute "crown jewel." It has immense power and an extraordinary harmonic richness, owing to the increased string-length in the bass section. Most notably, the F308 model allows effortless glissandos and easier control over fast passages.
The unique fourth pedal, which comes standard on the F308 model, was created and patented by Fazioli to reduce the sound dynamic and allow the playing of pianissimo without any alteration of timbre. With the new pedal, the entire keyboard is moved closer to the strings. In this way, the hammers hit the strings with less force and produce a smaller sound without modifying the timbre, and the hammer hits the strings in the same place. To preserve the noble shine of the brass elements, Fazioli plates all brass parts (besides pedals, castors and lock) in 18k gold.
piano that is so warm and clear, it's sound quality second to none.
Arguably the finest of its kind, the Fazioli concert and grand pianos are the highly specialized and valued creation of a true artist and master craftsman. The combination of Fazioli’s interest in art, music and technology allowed him to start his company Fazioli Pianoforti srl early in his career. Along with a team of specialists, acoustic physicists and engineers, Fazioli created the sound and design he had always yearned for as a young pianist.
After the first prototype was unveiled at the Frankfurt Fair in 1981, Fazioli pianos quickly gained recognition across Europe, and Italy took over the reign as the leader in piano design from Germany. It was Fazioli’s particular attention to detail and his concern for innovation that have attracted pianists from across the world. Commended by leading classical and jazz players alike, Fazioli’s instruments are indeed revolutionary works of art, both in aesthetic design and sound quality.
