PETROF GRAND PIANOS FEATURED AT AXPONA 2011

AXPONA (Audio Expo North America) 2011 was recently held in Atlanta, GA. With the mission to further the faithful reproduction of music through high performance audio, AXPONA is dedicated to the proposition that living with music is different and better than living without music.

The Petrof P210 ‘Pasat’ grand piano was featured in conjunction with an audiophile exhibit of high end equipment designed and built by Mark Levinson. A legend in the arena of sound engineering and reproduction – and a jazz musician of repute – Levinson partners with the Petrof company in the building of speaker cabinets for his renowned brand “Daniel Hertz”.

The characteristic Petrof sound first caught the attention of Levinson, called the man with the “golden ear”. “The ability of Mark’s audio developments to capture the truest real time representation of the whole spectrum of genuine acoustic piano sound is quite remarkable,” said Al Rich, Petrof USA CEO. “The Petrof company in Hradec Kralove builds this beautiful audio cabinetry with the same care and attention to detail evident in the casework of our fine pianos and we applaud his appreciation of the rich and complex sound of our Petrof instruments.”

Provided courtesy of Atlanta’s Cooper Music (Blake Cooper), the ‘Pasat’ model of the Petrof grand line is sized (at 210 cm) to fit beautifully into the home as well as provide stage performance excellence. Audiophiles attending the Atlanta AXPONA responded enthusiastically to the Hertz/Petrof demonstrations. Additionally, a Petrof P IV was utilized for musical entertainment venues to the delight of audiences.
