Piano Makes and Models

Petrof, Anton., Hradec Kralove, Czech Rep. - Est'd 1864
The only Eastern-European maker that has produced good-quality instruments - mainly Grands - and have been exported to the U.K. We like the design, the magical tone and responsive actions of the traditional pianos we have seen. Today, in a somewhat different corporate context, Petrof still build pianos of reasonable quality, though we prefer the original pianos made between the 1890s - 1930s.
Pleyel, Paris - Est'd 1807
A respected top French maker, whose instruments are found in the U.K. from time to time. Pleyel designed some of their earlier grands in association with John Broadwood in the mid 1800s. Their pianos, both uprights & Grands, are well-liked, sturdily built, with a warm rich tone.
