Baldassin were first introduced to the Fazioli piano on a
business trip to Europe in 1989. After concluding business
with the Renner Company in Germany, a trip to Italy was planned
to seek out the town where Baldassin's grandfather had emigrated
from 75 years earlier. When the officials from the Renner
company heard of the trip to Italy, they recommended a stop
to meet Mr. Paolo Fazioli. Baldassin agreed, not having any
idea where in Italy the Fazioli factory was located. To his
surprise, the factory in Sacile was located less than 60 kilometers
from the town of Nervesa where his grandfather was
Seeing the Fazioli pianos for the first time, Baldassin knew
that they were the finest pianos in the world. The attention
to detail, materials, design and execution all surpassed any
other piano being produced, and the sound was the most incredible
he had ever heard. He committed that day that if he ever were
to own a piano store, he would most certainly carry the Fazioli
pianos.
Two years later, Baldassin and his wife opened
that store, and today, Baldassin Performance Pianos is one
of the largest retailers of Fazioli Pianos in the United States. |
