Buying a concert grand can begin with a journey to Benalmádena, continue at the Fazioli factory in Italy and end with the instrument installed and tuned at home. Royal Pianos Premium plans and accompanies that journey, selecting pianos to try, arranging visits and coordinating delivery. A Fazioli F308 sale shared by Royal Pianos shows how those stages come together.
Planning a visit from afar
For many buyers, trying several high-end pianos means travelling. Before arranging the journey, Royal Pianos needs to understand the pianist and the place where the instrument will live. Who will play it? What music do they play? Will it be installed in a home, a studio or a concert hall? The answers help the team choose which pianos are worth preparing for the visit.
Practical questions matter too: the dimensions of the room, access to the building and the time available to travel and make a decision. With that information, the team proposes a selection and coordinates the itinerary to Benalmádena with the client. Depending on the circumstances, planning can include flights, a hotel, timings and collection from the accommodation for the showroom visit.
Those who have travelled to choose a piano then have an appointment devoted to listening and playing at their own pace.
Trying pianos in Benalmádena
The private showroom visit is the first encounter with the instruments. Here, differences emerge that a specification sheet cannot convey: how much control a key offers when played softly, how a melody sustains, or how the sound changes when heard from the other side of the room.
It helps to bring familiar music and repeat a few passages on each piano. A quiet passage, a more powerful one and a piece that explores several registers can reveal different responses. If someone else plays, the buyer can step away from the keyboard and listen as they might at home or from the audience.
The Royal Pianos Premium selection may include different makers, sizes and instruments from different periods. Trying them helps narrow the search. When Fazioli is the choice, the process can continue in Italy, where the client can select a particular piano with the manufacturer.
Why Fazioli?
Fazioli makes grand and concert pianos exclusively. Since engineer and pianist Paolo Fazioli founded the company in 1981, each instrument has been built individually, combining craftsmanship with technical research. The maker seeks a voice of its own, inspired by Italian bel canto, and offers options for customised finishes. For someone considering a purchase of this kind, a factory visit is an opportunity to hear the available instruments, choose one and discuss its finish with the maker. These principles are described in Fazioli’s official profile.
Choosing the piano in Italy
Royal Pianos has shared the story of a Fazioli F308 sale in which it accompanied the buyer from the first conversation through to selecting the instrument at the factory. The case shows what a factory visit can offer: the chance to try the pianos available there and choose with the instrument in front of you, accompanied by a specialist.
That second journey is planned too. Royal Pianos coordinates the possibility of a private visit with Fazioli and arranges travel, accommodation and schedules with the client. The appointment depends on factory availability and is planned around the instruments that can be examined.
The F308 is the Italian maker’s concert grand. Fazioli describes its features, including a fourth pedal that reduces volume without changing the timbre. Knowing the model helps guide the search; playing and listening to the chosen instrument is how a buyer can judge its response.
Discussing the details with the factory
In Italy, the finish and other details of the piano can also be explored. Woods, lacquer finishes and special configurations are discussed directly with Fazioli. There is no single list of options that applies to every model: the factory must confirm what it can offer for each order.
That conversation is more useful when the buyer has already considered the space the piano will occupy. Aesthetic preferences can then be discussed alongside musical and technical decisions. Royal Pianos accompanies the exchange with the manufacturer until the details of the purchase are settled.
Receiving the piano at home
The choice is made at the factory, but the work continues. Royal Pianos coordinated specialist shipping and delivery of the F308 to its buyer’s home. Moving and installing a concert grand requires an assessment of the whole route: where the vehicle can stop, how to enter the building, and the doors, turns or stairs between the entrance and the piano’s final position.
Royal Pianos asks for those details before arranging piano transport. Once the instrument is installed, an inspection and tuning at the delivery address help prepare it for its new surroundings. The team can also look after its ongoing maintenance.
Every purchase will have its own itinerary. The F308 case shows the continuity of the service: an initial conversation, time to try pianos, a guided selection at the factory and care through to the instrument’s arrival at home.
