Petrof Bora Baby Grand Piano - Features and Demonstration
▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
00:00 - Petrof Bora Grand demo
01:27 - Introduction to Bora Grand
01:55 - History of Petrof and European materials
03:11 - Hand-finished craftsmanship and Bora's tonal character
04:09 - Petrof's innovations in piano building and design
04:56 - Petrof Bora Grand demo
In this video, Colin - Sales Manager here at Richard Lawson Pianos - takes you through all of the main features of Petrof’s smallest grand piano, the Bora. Handcrafted in the Czech Republic, and made with premium-quality European parts, it boasts a quality of sound which truly belies the instrument’s compact dimensions. Even though it is just 5’3” in length - which makes it an ideal size for domestic use - it has a very wide expressive range with a warm and rounded sound, which is so characteristic of the highest-quality European pianos, and that you can hear in Colin’s demonstrations of this beautiful instrument. And with an action built by Renner, it is also highly responsive, making the most challenging of passages incredibly easy to control. As an official Petrof dealer, we're proud to stock this extraordinary piano.

    Classical pianist from the 🇺🇸 there is no comparison gentlemen there is nothing that beats a Yamaha. It has the better sound and they bought the rights to Steinway and Bosendoefer so they are next level now. The GB1 K also won’t break the bank about $13,000 usd

    Very nice and I am a classical pianist and teach at an advanced level let me break down the difference do you five Yamaha is about 15% more on price than the U3 . You are not getting a bigger piano both have the 52” height; same base. You get that middle pedal called Sostenuto pedal. It allows you to play a left-handed cord and play multiple notes on the right handed cord late giving extra layers of complexity however I’ll tell you the truth I only came across that maybe one of the compositions. I like the fact that I can my Las Vegas pianos guy is a licensed Yamaha dealer at the Yamaha US store they’re going for $16,000 but he’ll give it to Piano teachers for 13,600 and veterans . I have a $5000 piano so all I need to save is about $9000. 15 percent more is over 10,000 and you can get a used car. On the u5 it has a place for you to hang notes but some musicians find it odd and out of place. I say the U3 is the sweet-spot. To summarize, in conclusion, is worth it to pay for the upgrade to go from aYU3 vs a YU1 but it is not worth the 15 percent price jump to a Yu6, you are talking probably after taxes and shipping g about $20000 us

    Not sure what happened to the Bösendorfer’s sound, relative to their other models. The recording here almost sounds like a partition or canvas screen was placed between the microphone and piano. Perhaps the extra spruce has reduced the vibrations so substantially, that all the medium to high frequencies have reduced db.

    Both are wonderful pianos. The K7 is slightly out of tune, reason why it doesn't sound as good as the Bosendorfer in this case.

    This is really a great and helpful video. I prefer 745 as it has much better and clearer sound. The only thing I am not sure about is the choice of color. Which color finish looks better in a real life? Satin black or rosewood? Thank you for your answer.

    • @RichardLawsonPianosLtd
      @RichardLawsonPianosLtd Před 9 měsíci

      Glad you enjoyed the video! The choice of colour is really down to personal choice, and the Satin Black and Rosewood finishes are equally popular. The choice often comes down to the colours of the decor in the room in which the piano will be going.

    These Yamaha pianos are usually demonstrated with Classical type music only. And would prefer some videos with using them for blues, pop, country, & basic rock. I don't play Classical music. And these pianos are always having a demo with Clasical or similar only. I'm not looking for a Classical only.... piano.

    • @RichardLawsonPianosLtd

      Yes, it's generally recommended to play them before buying, since the same model can sound quite different when trying different examples.

    The SK7 is stunning. But the Bösendorfer is masterpiece. Would such a piano like these fit in a 26' x 18' (and a height of 13-14') room?

    • @RichardLawsonPianosLtd

    Bösendorfer wins for me. More balanced sound, more voice-like. The Shigeru seems to have a dominant bass and sounds very round, maybe bell-like and also very beautiful. Like the Bösendorfer recorded with U-like equalizer-settings. I would like to have both. Maybe would change my mind if I played them in person.

    I want one lol. Probably out of my price range currently I am sure. For a small piano, the sound, tone is perfect. I thought it was Liszt. I can only dream of playing his music. I think you need hands like shovels to do his music any justice. I shall probably be cancelled for saying this but as a woman I feel as though I can lol. I don't feel he took the lady's hand span into account when he wrote his music shall we say lol. I really want one.

  • @bulisabahay57
    @bulisabahay57 Před 2 lety

    I'm a Bosendorfer fan hard core. I've noticed they were recorded in different rooms. The S. Kawai had an acoustical advantage owing to the much larger space for reverberation than the one the Bösendorfer was in. The two extra inches of the S. Kawai over the Bösendorfer made a huge difference in depth. Admittedly, I preferred the depth and clarity of the S. Kawai because it was closer to the Imperial. I hope Bösendorfer redesigns the 225 because it's missing something. I've played them before and didn't like them. It's like the forgotten child in the Bösendorfer family. I much preferred the Porsche Edition 210 they built sometime back. Throw in the Grotrian Steinweg as well because that's another one of my favorites for its balance and clarity. I own a 277 because I couldn't afford the Imperial.

    Your playing technique is most suitable in Yamaha pianos whereas the Kawai has a deeper laid back actions which requires higher level piano playing to deliver best timbre.
