   ".  I've been told by piano technicians that the Petrof grand is
way underpriced, and the increased sales of the pianos verses the Yamaha
seem 
to point to that ( the choice being, purchase a mass produced machine-made
Asian instrument using the least expensive materials to create a piano of a
certain performance level, or buy a hand-built labor-intensive European
instrument from a 145 year old company that uses some of the finest woods in
the world...at the same price point.  Hmmm?).
   
The mass produced machine made instruments made by Kawai and Yamaha, are
becomming the ones to beat. And as far as 'least expensive materials', being
used for them, produceing a 'certin performance level' (what does that
mean?) verses  and the 'finist woods in the world' for the Petrof, it sounds
like  sales pitch PR to me. The half dozen Petrofs I have serviced are good,
but a little rough overall. They need much more prep than the typical
Yamaha. I am greatful that this company is in the market, and they will
hopefully continue to improve their instruments. I am a fan.
