Every Petrof I have ever know has been a thing unto itself as it were.
If there is anything predictable about them, its that technicians can
count on making good money improving a mulitude of variant action and
other problems.

I have seen probably a thousand Petrofs over the last 20 years. All of
them had some similiar types of problems, and all of them had an all
around pretty nice sound.

Petrof bushings, if anything, are usually kind of mushy. They use soft
action felt for virtually everything.

Cheers
