I came across a CD recorded with a Falcone piano prototype. Anybody
knows anything about this brand? Are they still in production? The
nine footer sounded like a Steinway to me!
Any instruction would be apreciated.

We went looking for a piano for my daughter about 20 years ago. The owner of Cunningham Piano played tunes for us on almost every piano in the store. When she started playing a 9' Falcone Grand piano I could not believe how beautiful the sound was.
We purchased the piano that evening and found out later while doing some research and tracking down an old employee at the Falcone Company that they only made nine of the 9" grands. It was dumb luck that we stumbled upon such a unique and wonderful
find.
The employee told me on the phone that when Steinway was purchased and the pianos were not being built up to the old highest level of craftmanship some of the Steinway piano builders moved over to working at Falcone. Some of the magic sounds coming from
the Falcone pianos were due to the high level of craftmanship at the factory by the old Steinway employees.
