Congratulations to BYU for such a GRAND acquisition! The Piano Company of Leesburg, Virginia also has a beautiful Fazioli 308. It carries many signatures of famous performers on its 'plate' and has been used for performances at such venues as The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the White House. It was also chosen by CBS for the Herbie Hancock "Christmas Morning Interview Broadcast" just several days after Herbie received accolades and recognition award for his contribution to the world of music (Kennedy Center, December, 2013). A Fazioli piano of any size is a remarkable instrument, and the F308 (308 cm, or about 10'2" in length) is the grandest of all, which makes every student recital very special because each performer feels the power, potential, and 'performability' of such a great instrument.
Very excited for the BYU Piano department. Congrats!
Exciting! I used to work in the BYU piano lab and with Mike Ohman assisting in tuning the organs. (1986-1990) I'm sure the students love it!

Playing a high-quality piano feels like driving a Ferrari. You get a huge rush of adrenaline and much more inspiration to create great music.
