---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment A little disclaimer.... I'm not an employee of Petrof and or Geneva, so some of my information may be sketchy....... I highly recommend that your customer contact her dealer and or Geneva directly to relay any fears she may have. With that said. >From what I know Petrof is doing just fine..... granted many new piano supplies have found this past year slow going. Not too long ago Petrof came under new management / ownership.... I'm not sure of the exact details.... But the change over wasn't due to major finance problems..... Also, Geneva and Petrof re worked their distribution agreement. Remember, Geneva is just the US distributor and is just one of many customers the Petrof has. As to a "bail out" of Petrof by Geneva, we'll that's sounds highly unlikely. So its possible that someone took this renegotiation of a distribution agreement as a bad sign or somehow by some stretch of the imagination took this information and made the assumption that Petrof and or Geneva was in trouble. Which again from what I know is not the case? One thing I found interesting about the posting was that the customer thought she made a mistake by buying a Petrof because of potential finance problems. We'll that sounds a bit odd to me..... if she likes the way the piano plays, sounds, looks, etc.etc...... when she bought the piano....what would it matter if the company did go under... ( which again is not happening ) If for some reason Steinway went out of business tomorrow, would that mean that all Steinways would somehow become worthless, or that all of a sudden Steinway blocks and boards would fail. Most likely this wouldn't be the case. I can understand her potential fears about warranty service ... however Petrof is good size company, and if for some reason they did go out of business, someone would pickup the company and at the very least parts would be available if needed. But again, from everything I know Petrof is not having any major problems. Again if she is still "worried" I would have her call her dealer and or Geneva directly . Hope that this information is of some use. John McGuire ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
