For Sale: Petrof 125 Traditional Upright – Polished Walnut
European Artistry with Unbroken Local Provenance
We are delighted to present this exquisite Petrof 125 upright piano, finished in a warm, lustrous Polished Walnut. Handcrafted in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, Petrof pianos are globally celebrated for their rich, singing European voice, exceptional dynamic subtlety, and artisan cabinetry.
This particular instrument carries an exceptionally rare, unbroken provenance: it was originally sold brand new by Millers to a local musical family, remaining under the care of its single, dedicated owner ever since. Sourced directly back from the home we delivered it to decades ago, it offers total transparency of ownership, having lived in a stable, domestic environment.
Manufacture Era & Pedigree
-
Serial Number: 526,599 (Built circa 1993/1994 in the Czech Republic)
-
Scale Height: 125cm Full-Scale Studio Upright
-
Action: Authentic European Detir Action / Renner-style specification
-
Soundboard: Hand-selected Bohemian solid acoustic spruce
Built during a golden era of Petrof’s modern acoustic engineering, the 125 stands at a full 125cm in height. This generous stature allows for an expansive soundboard area and long bass strings, delivering a round, resonant low register and a lyrical, romantic treble that avoids the percussive brightness often found in modern Asian uprights.
Design & Aesthetics: Lustrous Polished Walnut
While black polyester uprights dominate the market, this Petrof 125 is showcased in a magnificent Polished Walnut finish:
-
Natural Figured Grain: The bookmatched walnut veneers display deep amber, caramel, and chocolate hues, offering an organic warmth that complements both period architecture and contemporary interior decor.
-
Refined European Proportions: Built with elegant traditional front legs, integrated castors, and polished solid brass hardware, with a unique side-opening lid, it stands as an imposing yet sophisticated focal point in any room.

-
Action Regulation: Every note has been cleaned, aligned, and regulated for consistent let-off, uniform key depth, and responsive, fluid repetition.
-
Cabinet Detailing: The walnut casework has received a professional hand-polish to restore its deep, mirror-like gloss, and the original brass pedals and hinges have been buffed to a bright shine.
-
Pitch & Voicing: Pulled to concert pitch (A440Hz) and delicately voiced to highlight Petrof’s signature warm, round tone.
-
Industry-Leading 5-Year Warranty: Because we have known this piano from its very first delivery, we proudly stand behind its structural integrity with our comprehensive 5-year parts and labor warranty.
