My piano teacher used to have a slightly smaller Petrof grand from the 1970s. Superb instruments from perhaps Europe's best piano builder. I actually owned a Model 125 upright for 10 years, the tone was amazing but I found the action too heavy - even though I likely benefitted from practicing on it.
A rather bright, transparent tone - since you are also a Horn player, think of the sound of an Alexander compared to the Hollywood Conn 8-D sound. Although I'm an Alex player, I rue the current international homogenization of tone quality,
Awesome piano Robert! I think on the information card for the piano There might be a typo saying that it is 9‘9“, instead of 7‘9“. You put out great content with beautiful piano playing as always 🙂 Also, beautiful space. Is that a new recital hall/stage for the showroom?
I played a Petrof upright for 28 years. Went to audition grand pianos recently and tried a used petrof grand. Was shocked at how bright it sounded just like the one here. Was not for me. The tone in the middle and lower keys were nice but it was just too bright overall.
MARVELOUS sound!!
Very elegant piano with warm mesmerizing tone. Your playing is beautiful too !
What a sound! 🎹
Petrof instruments have such a smooth fluid feel in the action and such a full round tone. Everyone should play one at least once

“perhaps Europe’s best piano builder “?
That’s quite a statement. Not in the top 10.
Ideal sound for Chopin. And Bach. And Brahms. And all the others one 😄stunning

Many people appreciate the clear tone. But just like everybody has a favorite color, there are different personal preferences!
Some treatment of the felt on the hammer tips would have sorted out the upper register.
