From the introduction, I could tell that the tone of this piano was exquisite, balanced, and of a purity that really pleased my ears . . . even on the computer. This piano I would buy instantly if I had the finances to do so . . . beautifully crafted, and I hope it goes to a virtuoso, who will enjoy and take care of such an instrument.
I'm not sure what it's like in person, but from behind the computer, it sounds like this is one of the most exquisite-sounding pianos you've demonstrated in ages. Unbelievable tone, clarity, midrange and sustain are coming across here. Like the other person said, I could tell the second you played the first notes of the intro! I hope it finds a loving home!
Petrofs are very high quality, the downside of them are that communism shadowed their heritage. Based on the sound, the quality of it equals any Bechstein.
Their heritage may have been shadowed, but fortunately for us. Petrofs are a real bargain for people who cannot afford anything more expensive than a cheap Yamaha, Kawai or electrical piano - but they put the competition to shame on the grounds of melody, especially on classical music but also on any other gender except (maybe) jazz. Whoever wishes for a really good piano without having to break the bank, Petrofs are the answer in my opinion.
Than You Roberrt for presenting this stunning instrument to the public. If I wasn't looking at the video, I would have thought that the piano is a concert grand. The tenor range sounds rich and elegant. Franz Liszt would have loved this piano. IMHO
Just purchased a 1991 5'3" Weinbach grand, pristine condition. These are, of course, made by Petrof and I have read they differ only in cosmetics. I have also read that Weinbachs are the sleeper piano in the industry, few people seem to realize their value and as a result, can be purchased at lower prices. Here in the southwest, they are extremely rare. The sound and playability stood out for me even among 30 or more pianos I had played while searching for that one piano to motivate me to play daily. Go Czechs!!
Thanks for the comment. Yes, a very nice sounding piano. My tech advises that if I continue to play hours a day, he suggests softening hammers in a few years. Comparing the action to the many Kawais, Yamahas, Young Chang, Nordiska, etc, (and all the others that were in my price range; $6000) that I played in search of a motivating piano, I found the action to be medium to light and most my experience prior had been with Baldwins and Mason & Hamlins. I am no concert pianist and have no aspirations to be, I just like learning songs, developing my ability to devise harmonizations and improvisations within songs. I am thinking that this piano will suit me for many years to come. I was able to get this piano for under $5000 and considering the condition, feel that I didn't pay too much and the seller didn't have to "give" it away. Thanks
Hi ! I am about to buy a Petrof piano for my new apartment. I wanted to buy the Storm 194. The seller (Petrof in Czech), has offered me to buy at almost the same price, a 2009 PII, in excellent shape, rarely used, with full guarantee. What do you think about this? Should I change my choice to the PII? Thanks !!
I really love the sound of the Petrof pianos

Petrof has an incredible sound and touch alike - it is quite memorable. They are my very favorite pianos.

I have one Petrof at home. It is in use since my mom learnt to play (almost 40 years ago in China). Proud of it! :)

Oh..the tonal colour of the mid-range is delicious!

THE BEST IN THE WORLD
I could be wrong but i have a feeling that Roland keyboards may use Petrof as their main piano sounds.
not a musician but man it sounds amazing. Maybe i can buy my wife one.
I dont like petrof
