Petrof Upright Piano

I’m thrilled to present this exceptional 2009 Petrof Model 118 upright piano. If you’re looking for a handcrafted European piano with that legendary romantic tone, this instrument deserves your serious consideration.
Petrof has been building pianos since 1864 in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, and they’re currently the largest producer of acoustic pianos in Europe. What makes that remarkable? These aren’t mass-produced instruments. An incredible 80% of the production process remains in the hands of master craftsmen—piano makers, tuners, and intoners whose expertise has been refined over generations. Each piano takes months to complete, with extensive handwork that you simply don’t find in factory-line production.
This particular Model 118 exemplifies what Petrof does best. At 46½ inches, it’s ideally sized for homes and teaching studios, yet don’t let the compact dimensions fool you—this piano delivers surprising acoustic power and depth. The rounded, romantic tone that Petrof is famous for is all here, with that characteristic warmth and singing quality that’s captivated artists from Ray Charles to Paul McCartney as well as countless classical artists.
What really sets this piano apart is the meticulous preparation we’ve done. We’ve completed comprehensive regulation of the action, ensuring every key responds with precision and evenness across the entire keyboard. The voicing has been refined to bring out the instrument’s inherent tonal beauty—that soft, gentle character Petrof is known for, while maintaining clarity and dynamic range. Fresh tuning brings it to concert pitch, and the high-gloss black cabinet has been carefully polished to a lustrous finish. Inside, the piano has received thorough cleaning, because we believe every aspect of the instrument should reflect the care it deserves.
The action uses premium German components from Renner and Abel, paired with a solid Czech spruce soundboard that’s been carefully tapered for optimal resonance. This isn’t just about specifications—it’s about how the piano responds under your fingers and what it allows you to express musically.
Here’s what makes this such an outstanding value: this 2009 instrument is in its prime, with decades of musical life ahead. The original retail was $27,640, but we’re offering it at just $11,350. That’s exceptional European craftsmanship at a remarkably accessible price point. You’re getting a piano built to standards that rival the finest German and Italian makers, without the premium price tag.
Whether you’re a teacher looking for a reliable, beautiful-sounding instrument for your studio, a serious student ready to advance your playing, or a family seeking a piano that will serve for generations, this Petrof Model 118 is worth your attention. The combination of fine materials, expert craftsmanship, and our thorough preparation means you’re getting an instrument that’s ready to inspire from the very first note.

Or if you’re not local, we ship expertly prepared pianos to customers worldwide with free delivery anywhere in the continental U.S. As always, I’m here to answer any questions you might have about this instrument or anything piano-related.
