A Fazioli it's a good idea. But there are dozens of good ideas, and so a giant wishlist in their hands.
Glad to hear that ! (and to read the good tease you wrote about the beta before editing the text ;-) )

I'm glad someone support me on the upright (even though I have to say that I'm not really fond of how the Blüthner sounds either) !
I have to correct you on one point, though : if I'm not mistaken, U4 IS modeled upon a "real" instrument, namely the Yamaha U3.
But that doesn't change a thing on the matter : most of PTQ's instruments - except the K2, which is supposed to be only loosely linked to a Kawai Concert Grand, but which has a GREAT sound of his own - are modeled on "particular" instruments (top-shelf, luxury, hand-made concert grands, or historical pianos), who have some "character", if we can say so. Even the D4 and the YC5 are nothing else than the Steinway D and a Yamaha Concert Grand, even if for some reasons (licence, I guess) their names are not fully indicated as is in the Blüthner case.
On the contrary, the Yamaha U3 is a quite common and "industrial" product - and not the top of my likings, personally.
It would be great to have an upright having the same "character" (history, craft, prestige, sound presence...) of the already existing grands...
PS FaziolY ? Is it an hybrid between a Steinway and a Fazioli ? Or a Fazioli on a trip to Hungary ?
