Hi to all. . . Very interesting list. Wish I were a RPT sometimes. . . I am seriously considering the purchase of a Petrof model IV (5'9 grand) in the Philidelphia area. I am very impressed by what I consider to be a very clear and lovely tone and pretty nice touch, but have serious trepidations due to many stories I've heard considering quality issues. I've been through several unsatisfactory pianos (due to my own foolishness), and would like this to be the antidote to those experiences. Anyway, to get to the point, I'd like to pay a technician with at least 10 years experience (preferably a musician as well) to do a very thorough and honest evaluation of the instrument, including a complete tuning and testing of pin torque, examination of all action parts, bridge pinning, hardware, etc. . . the works. This is a big decision for me, and I also happen to live an hour and a half from the dealer, so I consider this a must. If there is someone in the Philly area who's a willing and OBJECTIVE party, I'd appreciate your help. Feel free to e-mail me for my phone number.
