Vancouver Architect designs case for world's largest piano: FAZIOLI F308

Vancouver Architect Ernest Collins designed the art case for a very special Fazioli F308 in Red Elm.  Fazioli pianos are made by hand in Italy and have gained popularity at an astonishing rate since their beginning in 1979.  They are now widely regarded as being the finest pianos available in the world, and at 10 feet and 3 inches long the Fazioli model F308 is the largest production piano in the world.

Showcase Pianos is the exclusive dealer for Fazioli pianos in the province of BC, and deals with many brands of pianos - - - from the very affordable, to the most luxurious.  (www.showcasepianos.com)

Ernest Collins and his wife Grace designed the case of the piano, as well as the matching cabinet and picture frame shown in the video.  (www.ernestcollins.bc.ca)

Cabinet was made by Joe Edwards of TLC Design.  

Artist for the painting is Mike Solomon.  (www.soloman.ca)

Music composed and performed (unfortunately not on a Fazioli) by the very talented Juilliard graduate and die-hard Fazioli fan Jennifer Athena Galatis.  (www.jennifergalatis.com)

Camera work, video production and editing done by Guy Roland & Dave Hamilton of NDB Creative.  (www.nbdcreative.com)
