    I have heard a lot of different opinions about fazioli, At first I also thought there was nothing particularly surprising about it, it didn't sound as warm as kawai or other grand pianos, in my opinion it is very sensitive to touch and you can change the tone co-ordinally, and if you hear his bass in real life, then he seems to growl, the sound literally snatches my soul.

    I only know two people with a baby grand Steinway. Both pianos are from the late 1800s. My aunt teaches piano lessons on hers. It's otherwise a conversation piece because they enjoy showing off, pretending that they're not showing off. I don't think my neighbors play theirs at all.

    Wenn man schon den Vergleich anstellt, dann bitte
    einen Steinway S (155 cm) gegen einen FAZIOLI F156.
    Oder auch einen Steinway B gegen einen FAZIOLI F212.
    Abgesehen davon, daß beide Flügel im Diskant intoniert
    werden sollte, schlägt sich der kleine FAZIOLI gegen den
    "B" im Baß erstaunlich gut und ist in jedem Fall das in
    sich ausgeglichenere Instrument.

    It's depends on a million things.
    Of course one is , the exact year and model, but the most important factor is the personal
    preferences... both have advantages and disadvantages to the other. On this level , there are no objective judgment is available. It's up to the question
    what's more important for you ...
    For me , the robust powerful bass
    section of the Hamburg Steinway is really impressive. ( I am usually
    not too impresed of the American Steinway...) -- the Fazioli is better in other sound requirements.

    if comparing on planes - Steinway is more like premium business jet while Fazioli more like 5-th gen interceptor. you'll get deep and most importantly consistent sound in Steinway but that consistency is a trade-off, and you will never be able to reach variability and expressiveness of Fazioli there. and if you are not at least experienced pianist your performance most certainly than not will sound like s*t on Fazioli even if its tolerable to hear on Steinway. real pro instrument which will not tolerate hands be growing from a bit lower than back.
