Unveiling the Gran Concerto 278: A Fazioli Masterpiece
Experience the pinnacle of piano craftsmanship. The Gran Concerto 278 meticulously captures the soul of a 9.5’ Fazioli F278 concert grand piano, crafted by the renowned Fazioli Pianoforti of Italy. This exquisite instrument, constructed with the finest materials, including wood from the same forest that supplied Antonio Stradivari, is revered by countless jazz and classical musicians as the world’s finest piano.
A Legend Comes Alive.
The F278 boasts a rich, powerful sound that thrives in both solo and orchestral settings. Its responsive action and wide dynamic range guarantee an unparalleled playing experience. This coveted instrument graces the stages of leading pianists like Herbie Hancock, Lang Lang, Yuja Wang, and Daniil Trifonov, and finds its home in prestigious concert halls and recording studios worldwide.
Every F278 is unique, a testament to the meticulous construction process. Our virtual recreation captures this individuality, allowing you to experience the instrument’s full potential. To achieve this, a master technician meticulously tuned and prepared the piano, ensuring the Gran Concerto 278 faithfully represents its one-of-a-kind character.
Recorded in a Storied Setting.
We employed DPA microphones for close and medium-distance miking, utilizing the A-B technique, to capture the F278’s magnificence within the legendary Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, Italy. Housed within the walls of a 15th-century convent, Fonoprint boasts a rich history, having hosted iconic artists like Ennio Morricone, Luciano Pavarotti, and Andrea Bocelli.
