Julie; Since you read the archives you probably read some of my negative 
comments on earlier Petrofs.  Those comments were accurate on the era of 
Petrof I was speaking of.
  Because of that thread I made it a point to search out "newer" model 
Petrofs (actually only got to try two) with the Renner actions and was 
pleasantly suprised in finding that the new pianos are a different animal 
with the same name. Very nice feel/responsiveness. and a full rich mellow 
tone. Finish well done and very neat workmanship overall. Everything did what 
it was supposed to do...when it was supposed to do it.

 If your Petrof is like the two I have examined, and it sounds like it is, 
and you like the feel/looks/sound of it, as well as the asking price 
well..............go for it.
  You probably won't be sorry you bought the performance you want rather than 
a name you thought you should have.
