Yamaha C3 vs. Petrof III

[PIANISSIMO PIANOFORTE S.L.]

Hi John,

Yamaha, Yamaha, Yamaha !!!!

I suppose it depends which Petrof III and which Yamaha C3 in particular,
but if you can't compare the two, the Yamaha will be a much safer bet! I
have yet to try a Petrof grand that (without any "modifications") is
actually "good" touchwise, etc.

Once again.... Yamaha!
