I understand this is optional ?? and that these can be purchased with Czech
assembled actions for much cheaper. Is this not the case ??

Well, thats a mouthfull to be sure.. Europes premier pianos ??? Absolutly no one
in the buisness here in Europe, that I know of (and I know quite a few indeed)
would aggree with that. Actually compared to most techs over here I would appear
to be a staunch Petrof Defender. I fail to see what the difficulty is in
excepting a thing for what it is. Both for its positive sides and its negatives.
Its a pretty good cheap piano, with better then average sound for the price.
Pretty decent value if value is what you are after. But it is not more then that.
If it was it would cost much much more. Jimminees...
