Willem Blees >> >> I said "one of Europe's." That would imply that there are other pianos that are also in that same category. Granted, the ones you list are excellent pianos. I am not putting them down. All I can say is what my customers tell me when they come in my store. Unless they are giving me a line of bull, most of my customers tell me they like the way the Petrof plays and sounds over the other premier pianos we have available in the St. Louis area, Boston, Baldwin, Yamaha, Young Chang. I have even had one person tell me it played and sounded better than the Steinways he's heard. While I would love to have that on record, I would be the first to admit it might have been a bit overstated. Willem Blees
