Manufactured in 1995, this 42" Petrof console piano is an absolute delight to play. Beautiful polished ebony finish. Made in the Czech Republic, these instruments are highly acclaimed. The bass is beyond belief with power and projection that is usually only found in much larger uprights! It has a full perimeter cast iron frame or plate that insures unmatched tuning stability. Another wonderful feature has all brass agraffes. These keep the strings perfectly aligned, a very expensive process instead of the usual pressure bars found on most uprights. The middle pedal lowers the felt practice bar allowing for very quiet playing...a great feature!! This piano originally listed for $6,995 and new Petrof uprights now start at over $20K. Enjoy European quality without breaking the bank. Fully reconditioned to play like new!
