 Respectfully, who considers Petrof to be one of the premier pianos.  Not any 
 of the technicians that are in Europe on this list.  When compared to 
Seiler, 
 Schimmel, Blutner, Bechstein, Hamburg Steinway, Bosie, Pleyel ... must I go 
 on?

I said "one of Europe's."  That would imply that there are other pianos that 
are also in that same category.  Granted, the ones you list are excellent 
pianos.  I am not putting them down.  All I can say is what my customers tell 
me when they come in my store.  Unless they are giving me a line of bull, 
most of my customers tell me they like the way the Petrof plays and sounds 
over the other premier pianos we have available in the St. Louis area, 
Boston, Baldwin, Yamaha, Young Chang. I have even had one person tell me it 
played and sounded better than the Steinways he's heard. While I would love 
to have that on record, I would be the first to admit it might have been a 
bit overstated.
