Well, now you know. Petrofs were sold hand over foot here for many years. They
were very very inexpensive whilst being useable. I have often thought of them as
the best "el cheapo" around. At least they compare very favorourably with the
other old eastern european block pianos. Only August Forster and Bluther from
the old commie countries seems to be as usable, and they were a good deal more
expensive.

There are so many Petrof uprights around here it would make your head spin.

Cheers
