Question

Which is better Petrof piano, Yamaha piano, or Heintzman & co. piano?

Answer 1

It really does depend on you - which of these pianos you feel best playing. You need to spend time with each make and see which you most enjoy. The touch and tone will vary a lot with the different makes, you can either go for the clear bright modern sound like Yamaha or a softer mellow tone like you will find on a Bechstein.



I play a lot and I always choose Yamaha for the very sharp, crisp touch and very clean sound. Playing a new Yamaha is absolutely amazing, they are perfect. However, I also have a 20 yr old one and it is a lovely piano, very easy to play.



I have also played Petrof and like Yamaha it does have a nice clean sound. Never played a Heintzam so can't give an opinion on this.



If in doubt choose Yamaha - they are great pianos and very resellable if you don't get on with it. They haven't got quite the heritage of some of the older makes but they sound fantastic and the engineering is just as good or better.



Good luck!

Answer 2

I'd play them all, but I'm pretty sure that my shopping list would stop at the Petrof.

I am looking for a new piano and can't decide which on to pick, Petrof, Yamaha, or Heintzam &co. If anyone has any advise please answer.

Answer 5

I have a Petrof studio piano that was made in 1999 and it has the Detoa action on it. I wouldn't trade this piano for any Yamaha or Kawai studio piano. I love this piano for its rich tone and the action, top. Based on my experience, Petrof makes an excellent piano.

Answer 6

For both of the types, i would choose Nordiska, ebenshire, essex. DO NOT CHOOSE A BALDWIN!!!!!! The company used ot be the best type of piano, but they got bank-rupt so the pianos suck now... But if you are choosing a grand.... choose a nordiska or a knobe.. They're r like the best pianos!!!

I have a 2 nordiska's right now and it rocks... my friend grace has a ebenshire and it rocks 2.

Also, if your only choice was a Yamaha against someother type of Piano.... i would choose the more expnesive one if you r a really advanced person (like me).

Answer 7

Answer 8

I have a Yamaha and am very pleased with it. I'd recommend Yamaha to anyone, and if I was buying another I'd choose Yamaha again, but I haven't played either of the other two makes.

Answer 9

Yamaha.

Answer 10

Petrof is a hand-crafted European piano made in the Czech Republic. Their history goes back to 1864. During the Cold War, they were part of a state-owned consortium, but after the fall of the Iron Curtain, they became privately held once again. They are one of the better European pianos, and certainly superior to anything the either Yamaha or Heintzman builds. Consequently, they are pricier.



Consider: Petrov hand-crafts some 6 to 8000 pianos per year. Yamaha produces 250,000 pianos a year in China -- their Japanese plant has been closed for virtually all piano production for over 4 years now, except for their concert grand, which they market at $130,000 US. All U.S. production has also ceased. I would not buy a new Yamaha these days -- I might consider a used one if it's not more than 20 years old. They tend to start out bright and get brighter over time, due to a rather high-tension scale, and a very hard hammer felt that does not take well to repeated voicing. At least that has been my experience with them. I also do not like overly-light actions, and Yamaha is known for that.



The Heinzman is a run-of-the-mill Chinese stencil piano. The name comes from a venerated and respected Canadian manufacturer now defunct. Today's pianos bear no resemblance to the genuine Heinzmans. They are an entry level piano at best. At worst, they are junk.
