A distinctive Italian concert grand
Rich, powerful and remarkably responsive Gran Concerto 278 is based on a 9.5’ Fazioli F278 manufactured by Fazioli Pianoforti in Sacile, Italy. Known for its rich, powerful sound, responsive action and wide dynamic range, the F278 is equally at home in solo and orchestral performances. This specific instrument was tuned and prepared by a master technician before being recorded at Fonoprint Studios in Bologna. DPA cardioid microphones capture the piano up close, while DPA Omni microphones at medium distance use an A-B configuration to preserve its depth, projection and distinctive tonal character.

About
Made from the finest materials, this masterpiece of craftsmanship uses wood from the same red spruce forest where Antonio Stradivari cultivated his rare and celebrated violins. It’s considered by many jazz and classical players to be the finest piano in the world.
The F278 has a rich, powerful sound that’s well-suited for both solo and orchestral performances. It’s also known for its responsive action and wide dynamic range. The F278 is used by many of the world's leading pianists, including Herbie Hancock, Lang Lang, Yuja Wang and Daniil Trifonov. It is also a popular choice for concert halls and recording studios.
During construction, the individual character of each F278 is revealed. And when completed, a new model sells today for over $100,000. Many pianists believe that it is worth the price for its distinctive voice. Our F278 was tuned and prepared by a master technician so you may experience this specific instrument in all its unique glory with the Gran Concerto 278.
On this concert grand we used DPA cardioid microphones for the close miking and DPA Omni microphones for medium-distanced with A-B miking technique to record this spectacular Fazioli at the legendary Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, Italy, within the walls of a 15th century convent. In addition to our many IK sample sessions over the years, Fonoprint has hosted the very best Italian and international artists from Ennio Morricone to Luciano Pavarotti to Andrea Bocelli.
