Petrof P159 Bora Grand Piano
Grand PianosConsidered the “little big grand piano”, of the Petrof piano line, the Petrof P 159 Bora grand piano’s size is the only thing that makes the Bora a small instrument. As soon as the hammers hit the strings, you will discover its wonderful, rich and surprisingly powerful sound. Petrof put the very best materials, technology and design features of concert instruments into its construction. Professional players favor it for practice purposes and domestic use as its potential greatly transcends the baby grand size. As the soft, gentle rounded Petrof tone inspires the most distinguished players, it’s no wonder why famous piano artists including Billie Eilish & Finneas O’Connell, Paul McCartney, David Helfgott, Ray Charles, Bill Gates, Mariah Carey, jazz pianist and composer Count Basie and Ennio Morricone have selected Petrof as their piano of choice.
