Concert Grad piano Company founder Antonin Petrof custom grand piano builder lived 1839–1915 Petrof opus 1631 grand piano Forte 1882 Year1882 Petrof grand piano origin stool	A. Petrof Company is a Czech piano manufacturer based in Hradec Králové In north-eastern Bohemia and the largest manufacturer of acoustic grand and upright pianos in Europe. The instruments are sold on all five continents in 65 countries worldwide. Since 1864, when Antonín Petrof built his first grand piano, over 630,000 instruments have been manufactured under the Petrof name, as well as many other names within the PETROF brand family. Petrof instruments are famous among musicians for their extraordinarily round, warm-romantic and yet extremely modulation-capable tone. Of course, production has changed in many ways over a century and a half, but precise craftsmanship, the most careful selection of materials and the incomparable, romantic tone have remained. Countless famous artists as well as well-known personalities have fallen in love with the sound of Petrof instruments, which is why the representatives of the fifth generation of the Petrof family carry on their family tradition with great pride. The company was founded in 1864 by the piano maker Antonín Petrof (German Anton Petrof) in Hradec Králové. He had previously trained in Vienna with various well-known piano manufacturers such as Heitzmann, Friedrich Ehrbar and Schweighofer. Success came over the years and he was able to rise to become a major manufacturer. Among the customers were the imperial court. In 1899 Petrof received the privilege of a k.u.k. Purveyors to the court and the title of a secret court councillor. The sons later received both titles. In 1908 the company was transformed into a general partnership, Petrof's wife Marie became an authorized signatory and their sons Jan, Antonín and Vladimír became part of the company. Antonín and Marie Petrof died in 1915, the management was taken over by the youngest son Vladimír Petrof. From 1924 pianos were exported to America, Asia and Australia. In 1928, Petrof and Steinway opened a branch on Wigmore Street in London. The third generation of the family business began with the entry of Dimitrij, Eduard and Eugen Petrof. The piano manufacturer Petrof was awarded the Grand Prix during the 1935 World Exhibition in Brussels. At that time, 400 workers were employed in the company. In 1948 the manufacturer Petrof was nationalized, between 1991 and 1998 it was reprivatized. Petrof, which has been run by two sisters of the fifth generation of the Petrof family since 2004, is currently one of the largest piano manufacturers in Europe in terms of volume with up to 5,000 upright and 900 grand pianos per year. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Petrof has also been trying to innovate in piano construction. For example, the company developed a device that uses adjustable magnets to adjust the playing weight of the grand piano keys and adjust it according to the preferences of a pianist. In 1932 Petrof acquired the license to produce the electro-acoustic piano Neo-Bechstein, which was marketed as Neo-Petrof. Instruments from other brands are also manufactured in the Petrof manufactories. In the branch factory in Jiříkov (German Georgswalde), prefabricated Weinbach pianos are finally assembled in China. A factory of the August Förster company, which has its main plant in Löbau in Saxony, existed there until the Second World War. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrof

	Famous Grand piano Forte Builders; Austrian piano makers, only Ehrbar (until 1980) and Bösendorfer survived the economic crisis of the 1920s and 1930s. Heitzmann & Sohn Those pianoforte factories started high quality and precision work quickly led to success. The unusual stability of the materials used and the high resilience of the instruments met the highest demands. Today the competition is enormous, but in the 19th century the company competed with the pianoforte manufacturer of the Saxon court Julius Blüthner (founded 1853) in Leipzig and with Bösendorfer (founded 1828) and Heitzmann & Sohn (founded 1839) in Vienna. However, each has its own mechanics and thus its special timbre. The amateur pianist Toni Wille only plays List and Chopin on the Bechstein rarity (from 1861). On the other Bechstein piano (from 1873), however, the composers of the Romantic era, such as Schuhmann and Brahms, on the Viennese fortepiano by Heitzmann & Sohn Beethoven and Schubert and on the Blüthner grand piano Mozart and Bach, as he explained to me. The pieces of music sound wonderful on the historical pianos, different than today, which is not only due to the faster playing tempo of today, but also to the change in mechanics. In the last 250 years, key pressure has increased from 30 to 60 grams and string tension from 5,000 to 25,000 kilograms. In Mozart's time, for example, one played a whole tone lower. The situation in piano construction has also changed. The demand for concert grand pianos has decreased. Space-saving pianos and last but not least cheap e-pianos or keyboards (usually have less than 88 keys) have pushed the good old grand pianos out of private homes. Of the well-known, old Austrian piano makers, only Ehrbar (until 1980) and Bösendorfer survived the economic crisis of the 1920s and 1930s. Heitzmann also had to close. Then Antonin Petrof come the Austrian Hungarian Royal Court supplier!
