Fazioli pianos are still handmade and a successful move to a purpose-built factory in the summer of 2001 saw production increase from 80 to 120 instrument a year. The new site also includes a test and research area, and a concert hall. The 10-foot, 3-inch (308cm) grand is the largest concert piano available today. It includes a fourth pedal, which moves the hammers closer to the strings, thus offering a softer sound without altering the tonal characteristic as the una-corda pedal does. Fazioli pianos have a choice of two actions and two lyres to allow a performer more voicing options.
