  • Petrof/Weinbach (The same company produces both pianos.) Estonia. Japan makes the best Asian production pianos. There are 2 companies which are the largest and second largest manufacturers of pianos in the world. I just obtained an Apollo grand piano and I’m wondering about its value. I love the look and sound of it so far.
  • The largest grand pianos are from 9′ long to over 10′ long and are called Concert Grands. A baby grand piano is described as a piano between 4 foot 6 inches and 5 foot 6 inches long. The most popular grand piano size in most homes is between 5′ and 6′ long. Serious pianists usually prefer a 7’ or over in length piano.

The company was founded in 1864 in Hradec Králové, Czech Kingdom, by Antonín Petrof (d. 1915), who had studied piano making in Vienna at renowned companies such as Heitzmann, Friedrich Ehrbar und Schweighofer.

The owner AntonĂ­n Petrof was awarded an imperial and royal warrant of appointment to the court of Austria-Hungary.[3] In 1924 was company except for Europe exporting its pianos to Japan, China, Australia and South America.

In 1948, Petrof was nationalized, though reprivatized between 1991 and 1998.[5] Petrof is currently led by two sisters from the fifth generation of the Petrof family and produces approximately 2.000 grand pianos and 12.000 upright pianos.[6][1] Petrof is known for several innovations, such as ways to adjust the mechanics and particularly pressure point through magnetic systems.[7][8]

Petrof pianos have had many famous admirers, including among others: Ray Charles, Paul McCartney, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Sviatoslav Richter, Count Basie, Richard Clayderman, Ennio Morricone and Mark Levinson.[2][9]

Petrof pianos produces (as of 2018) three grand piano models (P284 Mistral, P237 Monsoon and P210 Pasat[10]) and several upright pianos.[11]
