160 years of craftsmanship
Historical excellence
Petrof has been crafting pianos since Antonin Petrof made his first piano in 1864. In those days, Petrof excelled and was in demand across Europe, with Antonin becoming the official Piano Maker of the Court for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The company has weathered the evolution of the piano industry, navigating historical economic and political challenges (including Soviet nationalization). Today, Petrof thrives as an elite creator of luxury European pianos.
Return to prominence
Since the family regained ownership in 2001 after the Soviet experience, quality has blossomed. The current company president Anna Petrof represents the 6th generation of family ownership. Since her mother, Suzana (pictured), took over operations in 2004, Petrof pianos have regained standing against it’s counterparts. It is now regarded as an elite piano maker, once again.
Tonal chocolate
Petrof tone often get described as warm and romantic. It’s more Brunello than Pinot. More Brahms than Mozart. More cello than oboe. Petrof takes great care using the latest in technological advances for implementing improvements and innovations, all while preserving its unique, historical tone.
Innovative design
This is not a stodgy old-fashioned brand. While Petrof leverages centuries of piano-making to produce tonal beauty, it stays on the cutting edge of design to create pianos that blend with current trends in decor. Don’t worry, your Petrof will not clash with your mid-century modern or modern-industrial living spaces.
