About PianoFortePianoForte Chicago is dedicated to promoting and making available the line of Fazioli pianos to the discerning public. The showroom is a unique setting to allow piano lovers to take their time and explore the possibilities of a Fazioli piano. The showroom is not a storefront and it is preferable to make an appointment, due to our limited public opening hours. The setting: The Fine Arts Building is located at 410 South Michigan Avenue, between the Auditorium Building and the Symphony Center, near the theatre district and the museum campuses of the Art Institute and Field Museum. You can easily combine a visit to downtown Chicago with a visit to PianoForte Chicago, be it for business meetings or your outing to a concert or theatre performance. The Fine Arts Building is classified as a historic landmark building for its architecture as well as its beaux-arts style, which has remained untouched by modernization. It has the last hand-operated elevators in Chicago. Its owner has a vision of creating a haven for artists and arts-related business in the building. It contains a theatre, two cafes, several orchestra rehearsal spaces, the largest sheet music store in Chicago, an art gallery, several fine musical instrument dealers and restorers, many music teachers studios, artists studios, performing arts organizations, a ballet school and much more. PianoForte Chicago is situated on the 8th floor in a space which was used as a drama studio in the late 1890s and it has kept many of the original features, such as a small stage. The premiere of Ibsen's play the "Wild Duck" was performed there. PianoForte Chicago intends to maintain a representative inventory of most or all of the six Fazioli models, from the 6' model to the concert grand piano.
The PianoForte Chicago concept:By exclusively representing Fazioli pianos, PianoForte Chicago is not like any other piano dealer: it is entirely focused on making Fazioli pianos available to play and enjoy in a relaxed setting. By focusing exclusively on this instrument of the highest quality, we have put together a team of the best available technicians and movers to ensure that our customers will enjoy the highest quality of service. Our goal is to bring Fazioli pianos to the stage and in piano lovers living rooms as well as to make them available for the top pianists of today to play in concerts. Consider that of less than one hundred pianos manufactured in a year, only about thirty make their way to the United States and much less to the Midwest. Therefore we seek to increase the visibility of this rare instrument.
