I couldn't be happier with the Fazioli 278 piano that my husband and I purchased from Collora Piano. The piano is remarkable for its rich colors and a touch that allows a surprising amount of control over texture and volume. Most astonishing, for the first 9 months it has stayed in tune, even through the winter months! The service we received from Phil Gibbs and Peter Collora was exemplary. Peter perfectly adjusted the touch weight to my personal satisfaction. We feel very fortunate to have this beautiful instrument!

Dr. Steven Harlos And His New Fazioli At UNT
The relationship between pianist and piano is a highly personal, subjective one. In ideal circumstances, it’s a love affair that deepens over time. With my new Fazioli, it truly was love at first sight, or should I say, touch. Over the last few months, my relationship with this fabulous instrument has only deepened. It is definitely a two-way relationship. The Fazioli is teaching me new ways of creating music at the piano. It does exactly what you ask it, nothing more, nothing less, which requires a more precise kind of playing and thinking. It’s almost like starting over, even with pieces that I have played for most of my life. The sound is beautiful, clear, and warm. I feel like I have only begun to realize its full capabilities, and I look forward to a long, happy relationship with this amazing instrument. I consider it to be one of the finest pianos I have played anywhere, and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to spend time with it regularly, both as a player and as a listener.
