As you can see, these prices are cheaper than a YAMAHA and I must admit that I like the sound of the European pianos more (it's more mellow). In terms of price the PETROF is a cheaper ($19,000US) vs.
The action on both of these units is almost identical (BTW they both have RENNER actions). well, again, different acoustic environments so I couldn't really tell. In terms of apparent quality they both look very well built. I have a preference for the sound quality of the ESTONIA but it's really hard to tell if this was due to the room that it was located in or if it was the quality of this particular unit. I finally had the opportunity to try out both of these units today but (and here's the catch) under different acoustic environments. I started asking around and the names ESTONIA and PETROF kept coming up. I was recently told that I should also consider some other manufacturers out there, so I did. Originally I had looked at either a YAMAHA C3 or a C5. I will soon be buying my first Grand Piano.
