Testimonial Lance Armstrong, customer You build an incredible Grand Piano! I played several Petrof grand pianos today, including a 9 foot one, and I have to have one! My playing style is closest to a Classical concert pianist (like Keith Emerson). Today I visited an upper scale piano store in Plano, Tx, USA. I had never heard of the Petrof name before, but I sure know it now. You build the most amazing Grand Piano. I played many of your models that they have in the store. I read your history in "The Petrof Piano Saga" pamplet that the store gave me. That convinced me my next purchase of a higher end grand will be a Petrof. I know that it will be built by people who love what they do. I love that the Petrof piano business is still run by family members. Thank you for building a piano of such high quality, and I wish your business continued success in the future. Lance Armstrong John McFall - Artistic Director, Atlanta Ballet Artistically and spiritually, to have an instrument the caliber of PETROF is inspiring to the entire Company. Our pianists are delighted with our selection of PETROF pianos for Atlanta Ballet. John McFall - Artistic Director, Atlanta Ballet Emil Viklický - jazz pianist, composer The P I Mistral grand piano has an amazing beautiful coloured middle, full bass tones and proper treble tones. Action goes great of course so I am very satisfied with that and hope it will always go in the same way. And that you will not let play pianists who just pound at it. Emil Viklický - jazz pianist, composer Aziz Nurwahyudi - Indonesian Embassy in Prague ...it is such a great pleasure and honour for the people of Indonesia when PETROF will support our concert in Prague on Thursday, 20 November 2008... PETROF is really the best in the world and we are proud to play it. Azis Nurwahyudi Prof. Scott Harris - Director, University of Southern Maine School of Music The solo piano literature that was performed especially challenged the abilities of the PETROF. These challenges were met and exceeded , as the sound from this instrument was outstanding and absolutely supported the talent of our students. As an accompanying instrument, it was also exceptional. In addition, its physical and commanding presence on the stage contributed to the dramatic nature of the evening even during those moments when it was silent. Prof. Scott Harris - Director, University of Southern Maine School of Music Christopher Howell – pianist, organist and composer I am particularly pleased to have selected a new Petrof piano. I found that the Petrof piano responded the best to my playing music composed by such diverse composers as Satie, Chopin, Shostakovich, Scott Joplin and Stephen Sondheim. I have played in many places from The Victoria and Albert Museum in London and The Royal Albert Hall, to a jazz club in Tirana, Albania where I was supporting some work of the United Nations. I have played on many pianos but I find the Petrof responds to me the best of them all. Christopher Howell – pianist, organist and composer A satisfied customer from Australia I emailed you 6 weeks ago about a Petrof Piano and you very kindly provided some information on its build date (2005) and components. I am just writing to tell you I have bought that piano. It has just undergone a full regulation and will very soon be delivered. After a few weeks settling in I will have it tuned and voiced. It is a VERY nice tone with great colour, even before voicing. The bass is very very nice. It totally out-performed Kawai, Yamaha and Bechstein pianos we compared it with. It also sings much better than the Steinway sound! It is delightful ! I thought that I would let you know what happened because you were so kind and helpful. Very best wishes. A satisfied customer from Australia Caleb Hogan - customer After testing various other brands, I concluded that the sound quality and tonal clarity of the PETROF brands was superior to all others. I had the pleasure of playing the PETROF model III, IV and V and I can say that each of them produced a sound comparable to other brands that were 1 foot longer or more. I now own a Petrof Model III grand and I love it. PETROF pianos have my whole-hearted endorsement as a musician. Caleb Hogan - customer Sebastian Szymanski - pianist I recorded my first own cd on Petrof PI MISTRAL, this instrument has incredible sound! Sebastian Szymanski - pianist Ada Sari - concert and opera singer I am obliged to the prominent factory of PETROF for providing your instrument which was used for accompanying me in Czechoslovakia and critical to my performance. Ada Sari, concert and opera singer State radio, Belgrade Our concert masters as well as other music authorities who play the supplied PETROF instruments admire their beautiful sound. State radio, Belgrade Caroline Haffner - pianist It was great emotion to come to PETROF factory! So many musicals souvenier of great pianists playing your fantastic instruments! But the warm welcome I receive was an even greater surprise! Thank you for that and for the generous offer to "APMC" and "Music Promenade Festival" - friendship and music together can do marvels! Caroline Haffner - pianist Karol Szeter – grand piano virtuoso, London I have played your grand piano, I admire its sound beauty and its lightness of motion.
