History
Petrof Pianos boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1864, when it was founded by Antonín Petrof in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. What began as a modest workshop producing just a few pianos per year soon blossomed into a renowned piano manufacturer. Through unwavering dedication to quality craftsmanship and innovation, Petrof Pianos quickly earned acclaim for its exceptional instruments.
Over the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Petrof Pianos expanded its operations and reputation, emerging as one of Europe’s most respected piano makers. The company’s commitment to excellence was consistently recognized with awards and accolades at international exhibitions and competitions.
Despite navigating challenges during periods of political and economic upheaval in Europe, Petrof Pianos persevered, evolving its production techniques while maintaining a steadfast commitment to traditional craftsmanship. This ensured that each Petrof piano remained a testament to quality and artistry.
In the latter half of the 20th century and into the 21st century, Petrof Pianos embraced technological advancements while preserving its heritage of handcrafted excellence. The company diversified its product range to encompass a variety of piano models, from grand pianos to uprights, catering to musicians and enthusiasts worldwide.
Today, Petrof Pianos stands as a symbol of Czech craftsmanship and musical tradition, cherished by pianists, educators, and collectors across the globe. With over 150 years of history, Petrof Pianos continues to uphold its legacy of crafting pianos of unparalleled quality, tone, and beauty.
