80% Handmade Construction
The Petrof III represents the experience of renowned master piano makers whose meticulous manual work makes up 80% of the manufacturing process. Each instrument takes 9-12 months to build and bears the names of the skilled craftsmen, intoners, and tuners, along with the proud signature of the entire Petrof family. This is not mass production—this is artisanal excellence where generations of expertise meet modern precision.
Five Generations of Excellence Since 1864
The Petrof family has remained dedicated to exceptional craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to detail for over 160 years. As one of Europe's most famous and prolific piano manufacturers, Petrof has built a reputation for creating instruments that rival the finest pianos of Germany and Italy while offering distinctive character and warmth that is uniquely Czech.
Bohemian White Spruce Soundboard
At the heart of the Petrof III lies a premium Bohemian white spruce soundboard, prized throughout Europe for its exceptional tonal clarity, warmth, and resonance. Carefully selected from the finest sources and shaped with extraordinary precision, this soundboard breathes life into every note. The straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce is strategically tapered to maximize tone-producing capability and reinforced with ribs for optimal structural stability and acoustic projection.
Hand-Notched Bridges with Precision Engineering
Every bridge is meticulously hand-notched with artisan precision, ensuring optimal transmission of sound and resonance from the strings to the soundboard. This painstaking craftsmanship results in superior tonal clarity, sustain, and the even response across all registers that professional pianists demand. The precision hand-notching allows each string to vibrate freely while transferring maximum energy to the soundboard.
Romantic European Singing Tone
The Petrof III produces the characteristic romantic, warm, and singing tone that defines European piano craftsmanship. With tremendous bass depth, balanced middle registers, and resonant, twinkling treble, this piano offers a huge palette of tonal colors. From delicate pianissimos to blooming fortissimos, the Petrof III provides the wide dynamic range and expressive capability that brings compositions to life with emotional depth and nuance.
German Renner Action
Equipped with the world-renowned German Renner action—the most prestigious manufacturer of piano actions and hammers. Renner components are the gold standard trusted by concert halls and professional pianists worldwide. The Renner action provides faultless response, lightning-fast repetition, and precise control that allows complete scope for musical expression.
European Hornbeam Action Parts
Action parts crafted from European hornbeam wood, renowned throughout the piano industry for its exceptional strength, density, and responsiveness. Hornbeam's superior structural qualities ensure long-term stability and provide pianists with a deep, intimate connection with the instrument. The wood's natural properties deliver consistent touch weight and ultra-responsive feel that transfers even the most subtle articulations from fingers to strings.
Solid Quarter-Sawn Spruce Keybed
The keybed is constructed from solid quarter-sawn spruce, providing unwavering stability and exceptional sensitivity beneath the hands. This premium construction ensures that the keyboard remains perfectly level and responsive throughout decades of regular use, maintaining consistent touch and reliable performance even in varying environmental conditions.
Polished Ebony Masterpiece
The stunning high-gloss polished ebony finish showcases elegant European design with graceful curves and refined proportions. Every detail reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision that has defined Petrof pianos for generations. The lustrous cabinet commands attention in any space—from concert halls to prestigious homes—making this instrument both a musical and visual centerpiece.
Solid Brass Hardware Accents
Adorned with solid brass hardware throughout, including hinges, pedal lyre components, and decorative elements. These premium metal accents not only enhance the piano's visual elegance but also ensure long-lasting durability and smooth mechanical operation. The brass details reflect Petrof's commitment to using only the finest materials in every aspect of construction.
Timeless European Aesthetic
The Petrof III seamlessly blends tradition, innovation, and exquisite detail in a design that honors classical piano aesthetics while incorporating modern engineering refinements. The elegant proportions and sophisticated finish complement any interior—from traditional to contemporary—while maintaining the instrument's commanding presence.
Highly Expressive Artist Instrument
The 6'4" Model III is a highly expressive artist grand with dynamics to spare. Professional pianists praise its ability to deliver delicate pianissimos, powerful fortissimos, and everything in between with complete control and nuance. The extended length provides longer bass strings and greater soundboard area, resulting in the rich, resonant tone and projection expected from professional concert instruments.
Crystal Clear Bass and Singing Treble
Musicians consistently highlight the Petrof III's incredibly crystal-clear, resonant bass and the bright, singing quality of the middle and upper registers. The tonal balance across all 88 keys is exceptional, with each note blooming with characteristic warmth and clarity. This even voicing ensures that complex passages, whether in classical repertoire or contemporary works, are rendered with perfect balance and definition.
Precise Touch for Total Control
The carefully regulated action provides very precise touch that gives skilled pianists total control over articulation, dynamics, and expression. The responsive mechanism translates every nuance of technique into corresponding musical results, making the Petrof III an ideal partner for serious musicians exploring the most demanding repertoire.
