If we want a Renner action assembled by Renner the model would be the Petrof IIIM, and would cost another $4500.00. That sounds way out of line to me. Any one have any solid information about Petrof's and Renner actions versus a Petrof action with Renner parts assembled by Petrof.

Importer for Petrof Pianos), tells me, there is no good reason to pay another $4500 for the piano, unless you are a purist, and have an extra $4500 to throw away. Why Petrof is doing is anybody's guess. The III has Renner parts, assembled at the Petrof factory. The IIIM has Renner parts, assembled at the Renner factory. I don't think you will be making a mistake if you buy the Renner III. Willem Blees Petrof Dealer
