I'm looking to buy a Petrof 135. I'm happy with everything about it. The only thing that bothers me is that many technicians I talked with told me that petrof piano is extremely sensitive to humidity and many showed problems in felt, case, hammers, etc. very soon. My search on this forum also returns similar respones... but my speculation is that those "bad" petrofs are not recently manufactured... as I also heard that Petrof has really improved their quality and reliability in recent years. Can anyone confirm this ?
I live in Hong Kong, where the humidity is around 70 to 85%. Will damp chaser help a lot in making a petrof more reliable? or is there anything else I can do to help, other than air con and dehumidifier ?

The most recent Petrof I regularly see is a Detoa action equipped 2006 model. It's already been recentred once by the supplying dealer under warranty. A Renner equipped one may fare better.brian_313 wrote:I also heard that Petrof has really improved their quality and reliability in recent years. Can anyone confirm this ?
Petrof quality has improved, but not enough.
