An extremely rare, $194,000 grand piano was smashed when movers dropped it while taking it out of a recording studio, Canadian virtuoso Angela Hewitt has revealed.
Hewitt, one of the world's leading classical pianists, said in a Facebook post that she had just finished recording Beethoven's piano variations in Berlin when the movers entered the studio control room to tell her they had dropped her handmade Fazioli piano.The pianist said it had taken her 10 days to share the"very sad piece of news" because it"has been such a shock to me that I didn't immediately want to share it with the world.
— Angela Hewitt February 10, 2020 Hewitt told CNN she would not be commenting further"while the insurance saga is still in motion." A spokeswoman for Fazioli Pianos told CNN the company could not comment further because of a"strict internal rule" on protecting clients' privacy.Simon Markson, managing director at Markson Pianos in London, told CNN he thought a £150,000 estimate of the piano's value if it were new was accurate.
