Comments
Small modern pianos. Practically the only style of Fazer pianos in the UK is a small 109cm high model uprights made from about 1970 to 1988 with a practice pedal and useful long music desk. Fazer upright pianos are generally good with stable tuning,a rich bass and firm touch, and make excellent study or teaching pianos. Main colours matt mahogany, walnut and teak; some also in white, and some laminated with non-wood finishes. (updated 2026)
