Its size is the only thing that makes the Bora a small instrument. As soon as the hammers hit the strings, you will discover its wonderful, rich and surprisingly powerful sound. Once again we have put the very best materials, technology and design features of concert instruments into its construction. Its potential greatly transcends its actual size. Professional players favour it for practice purposes and domestic use.
Greetings to you. I’m Antonio Formaro from Argentina and just now I’m in Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic. Today I’ve been working with this instrument from the PETROF company’s workshop. I would say this is a comparatively small grand piano. The „Bora 159“ model, however, although reduced in length and equal in width in comparison with other instruments from PETROF’s workshop, is characterised by the rich, compact sound of the instrument’s middle range. In my opinion this is an unusual feature in pianos of this size and there are hardly any similar models available on the market. I think this is a splendid instrument for professionals living in flats or smaller houses, as well as for concerts in smaller concert halls.It is especially interesting that the sound in the middle range is very compact and its deeper part produces tones of such depth as to make you think you’re playing on a larger instrument. The same applies to the upper range, which offers enough distinctiveness for the playing of every kind of tone. For this reason I regard it as an excellent and unique instrument of its type.
