That's a real shame about that piano and organ - what a loss!
Re your question as to how I liked the Faz, I liked it a lot, but it was difficult to judge the sound (beyond its very good general quality) in the unusual acoustic of a store - where the pianos are placed out in the open, surrounded by other pianos. Fazioli pianos always seem to sound great on the recordings that I've heard of them. I also felt that I didn't quite have the control over it that I felt I've had with a few other pianos, although perhaps that was just a question of getting used to it.
The two best pianos I've ever played on were the Steinway supplied by ProPiano for the couple of concerts I did with Jon Nakamatsu in 2000-2001, and the Grotrian which was owned (?) by a private organization in Berkeley, The Empire Club, which also had its own hall. I feel that there's not necessarily any "magic" associated with a particular make, and that some of the Yamaha and Kawai pianos I've played on have also been outstanding.
