Since 1864, when Antonín Petrof built his first piano, they have produced under the PETROF name roughly 630,000 instruments and many others within the PETROF Brand Family. Their pianos are popular among musicians above all for their unusually soft, gentle, rounded and romantic tone.

Craftsmanship

EVERY INSTRUMENT BEARS THE GOOD

NAME OF THE PETROFS

And represents everyone who took part in its production Up to 80% of production operations is carried out by hand. Without experienced master pianomakers, intoners and tuners PETROF pianos would scarcely be what they are - they could hardly have achieved such international renown, nor boast their characteristic romantic sound which is appreciated by music lovers the world over. Every instrument leaving the gates of the factory represents those who took part in its making. As the instrument makes its way through the production process, every craftsman in turn makes sure that he has devoted the greatest care to his task. The result after 9 months is a masterpiece, whose birth certificate displays the names of all its makers, one that reflects more than 150 years of experience, love of music and the honourable trade of the Petrof family.

RESONANT SPRUCE - THE HEART OF PETROF PIANOS

Careful selection of materials precedes actual production. Specialists from PETROF and their long-standing suppliers travel all over Europe and personally select materials and components that meet their high standards. The most important is obviously high quality wood - especially spruce for the making of the sound board - the heart of PETROF grands and uprights. Wood and other materials make a fundamental contribution to the instrument’s appearance and the resultant tone, and so they take exceptional care in its selection.

THE SEAL OF EUROPEAN EXCELLENCE ATTESTS THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS AND THEIR ORIGIN

PETROF produces 70% of the parts and components on their own. This means they have complete control over their quality. Thanks to this, in 2007 they were awarded the European Excellence Certificate which attests the European origin and the highest quality of production materials. Ever since, the EEX seal has appeared on all their instruments.

AN INSTRUMENT THAT SOUNDS SPLENDID MUST ALSO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

Human skill, experience and dexterity are irreplaceable in most production operations. Although it guarantees high quality of tone, there are, however, certain production processes where greater precision is required, and no advantage would be gained by hand work alone.In such cases they use top quality NC machines adjusted to the needs of PETROF’s masterly instruments. They pay special attention to piano’s surface finish. They work with a wide palette of different veneers: for satin finshes we use polyurethane varnishes, and where they wish to achieve a high gloss, they apply polyester varnishes.
