Local music educator Annabelle Paetsch performed skillfully on the Fazioli, and said of the piano: “The touch is highly responsive; encouraging and facilitating tonally nuanced playing.  Truly a very rewarding artistic experience!  I can see why the Fazioli is in demand as a recording instrument as well as for live concerts."
