Petrof

[Fred Sturm]

Hi Ric,
	Yes, I believe you are correct. I have heard from a couple sources that 
Geneva International picks and chooses which pianos it accepts from Petrof, 
which accounts, no doubt, for a good deal of the quality improvement in the 
Petrof line within the USA over the past several years - which have been 
rather remarkable, BTW. I think GIC also does a good deal of prep work 
before shipping to dealers.
