<BR>
<BR>A while ago there was some discussion regarding Petrof pianos. I only caught
<BR>the tail end of the feedback.
<BR>
<BR>What is the general opinion of the Petrof piano in regards to quality and
<BR>serviceability?
<BR>And Nordiska pianos? Are Nordiska pianos of the same quality as Petrof?
<BR>
<BR>Thank you,
<BR>

<BR>As a past dealer of Petrof, I can say that in general, for the price, it is a
<BR>very well made, sounding, playing instrument. Some of the customers who
<BR>played them compared the Petrof with Yamaha and Baldwin. One even said it was
<BR>better than a Steinway.
<BR>
<BR>The Nordiska's are Chinese pianos. Even though they are getting better, they
<BR>are n that general quality of all Chinese pianos. </FONT></HTML>
