In November Petrof ran an international competition to name their new piano. With the winner announced on December 1st.
As a part of this competition, they were looking for a name for their newly redesigned P 131 M1 piano.
They received almost 13,000 name submissions from all over the world. The proposals they received were fantastic and it was a difficult task to choose only one name.
So, you’ve just found the perfect piano that fits all your needs. The one that talks to you when you sit down to play it and would be absolutely perfect in your home.
Unfortunately, sometimes you find that perfect instrument and it just doesn't fit in your current budget to purchase it outright.
Welcoming a new grand piano into your home can be an exciting time. You’ve measured out the space, you’ve purchased your dream piano, you’ve arranged delivery, and now it’s time to prepare your home for the arrival of your new grand piano.
When you begin looking for a new or pre-owned piano, the number of options can be intimidating. Owning a piano is an investment, and you want to make sure you pick the right model.
Before entering a piano store, knowing what size of piano your home can accommodate is important. Walking in with measurements and constraints is an important first step. If you’re low on space, consider looking at upright pianos.
The piano is a stringed keyboard instrument in which the strings are struck by wooden hammers that are coated with a softer material. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. It was invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700.

Most people have used the term “Baby Grand” Piano at one time or another, but does anyone really know what that means? Or if there is even such a thing?
Through the years hundreds of sizes, types, and brands of pianos have been called baby grands. And they are probably all correct because there isn't a definitive description of what a baby grand really is.
