It's got a cast iron frame which is more suitable in pianos than steel:
Strength & Stability: Cast iron is incredibly rigid and stable under tension, which is essential for holding the 15–20 tonnes of string tension in a piano.
Acoustic Properties: It dampens vibrations better than steel, helping isolate the soundboard and improve tonal clarity.
Manufacturing Tradition: Petrof, like most European piano makers, used wet sand casting for their iron plates, a method that produces dense, durable frames with excellent resonance control.
Why not steel? Steel is stronger per unit weight, but it’s more flexible and prone to vibration—undesirable in piano construction. It’s used for strings, not the frame.
After this, a technician came to inspect the piano on behalf of somebody who was interested in buying it. He has said to get it perfect, including getting it to A440 concert pitch, he would need two visits including working on the action. This would have a total cost of around €650.
The technician confirmed the discolouration doesn't in any way affect the performance of the piano.
He suggested a price given these requirements of €1,200 so that's what my asking price is.
I'd think even if you got a piano delivered and tuned for €2,000, it's unlikely to match the quality of a Petrof, which you'll get to that same state for less than €2,000 other than the finish.
Asking Price: €1,200
