About the Petrof AP136 Concert Upright
At 136cm, the AP136 is among the tallest uprights in Petrof's range, housing bass strings and a soundboard large enough to genuinely narrow the gap between upright and small grand piano tonal character - the 'upright grand' marketing language reflects that specific design intent rather than being purely promotional. This makes it suited to institutions and serious players who need concert-capable tonal projection but lack the space or budget for a genuine grand piano.
Petrof's century-and-a-half manufacturing history in the Czech Republic informs the AP136's construction, applying the same tonal design philosophy found in the brand's grand pianos to its flagship upright offering - a genuine attempt to give buyers grand-piano-adjacent sound rather than treating the upright format as inherently limited.
