Availability: 0/10 (Very rare)

A compact 118cm upright from Petrof's Middle Series, designed specifically for smaller rooms without stepping down to a lesser build - the same German Röslau strings, solid spruce soundboard, and beech-and-cast-iron construction found on Petrof's larger models, just scaled to a shorter cabinet. Petrof positions it for teaching, daily practice, and accompaniment work, with a five-year manufacturer warranty backing the build.

About the Petrof P118 P1

At 118cm tall, 212kg, and built around a solid spruce soundboard with an active area of just over one square meter across nine spherical ribs, the P 118 P1 shares its core materials with Petrof's larger uprights: Röslau steel strings from Germany with Degen copper winding, a wet-sand-cast iron plate finished with nitrocellulose paint and bronze dust, and a multiplex beech pinblock dense enough for long-term tuning stability. Black keys use an acrylate plastic covering. As the smallest model in Petrof's Middle Series, it's built around the explicit design brief that a shorter cabinet shouldn't mean a lesser-sounding instrument - the same philosophy Petrof applies across its compact models rather than treating them as stripped-down versions of the larger range.

Sound character of the Petrof P118 P1

Petrof's own description, repeated across multiple dealer sites, characterizes the tone as warm and bright with a round, romantic quality that stays balanced across registers - explicitly aimed at classical repertoire. As with the playability notes, this characterization comes from manufacturer and dealer marketing text rather than independently verified listening impressions, and is presented here as such.

Warm Bright Mellow Resonant

What owners of the Petrof P118 P1 say

No independent owner sentiment was found for this specific model beyond manufacturer and dealer marketing text, which is repeated nearly verbatim across multiple retailer sites rather than representing distinct independent assessments. That absence is noted here deliberately rather than papered over with invented impressions.

Playability & handling of the Petrof P118 P1

No independent owner reviews or forum discussions specific to this model were found during this research pass - available descriptions come exclusively from manufacturer and dealer marketing copy, repeated nearly word-for-word across multiple retailer sites. That marketing language describes responsive keys and excellent dynamic range, which should be read as the manufacturer's own characterization rather than independently verified playing impressions.

Recommended accessories & strings for the Petrof P118 P1

At least one retailer bundle includes a height-adjustable bench as standard, useful for a piano likely to see use by multiple family members or students of different ages. An optional silent system is available for headphone practice. Beyond that, the same care applies as to any solid-wood acoustic upright: regular professional tuning and stable room humidity to protect the spruce soundboard and beech pinblock.

The history of the Petrof P118 P1

The P 118 P1 sits in Petrof's Middle Series as the brand's answer to buyers who need a genuinely compact instrument - for a small apartment, a teaching studio, or a room that can't accommodate a taller cabinet - without Petrof treating that compactness as an excuse to cut corners on core materials. It uses the same German string and winding suppliers and the same soundboard and casting methods as Petrof's taller uprights, with the five-year manufacturer warranty signaling the brand's confidence in the smaller cabinet holding up just as well.

About Petrof as a manufacturer

Company background on Petrof (founder Antonín Petrof, the 1865/66 founding in Hradec Králové, and the brand's growth into Europe's largest acoustic piano manufacturer) is documented in full at this project's P 125 M1 entry and isn't repeated here. Specific to the Middle Series this model belongs to, Petrof frames its compact uprights with an explicit design brief: small cabinet size is not meant to be synonymous with a lesser sound, a philosophy aimed at buyers who need a space-saving instrument without accepting a toy-like tone.
