PETROF Brand Family

We ceremonially unveiled the first ANT.PETROF model after seven years of development in 2014 in honor of Antonín Petrof, who founded the firm in 1864. Over the next two years, we completed the brand’s portfolio - it comprises two grand pianos (AP 275, AP 225) and one upright (AP 136). Only the most experienced of PETROF’s specialists are involved in its construction, using the best quality European materials and technology. The result is a timeless design and a unique sound, of particular appeal to the most discerning customers.

Production of the Akord upright began at PETROF in 1919, in the exciting postwar period, when one luxurious café after another was opened in Europe. Due to its construction and distinctive sound, the AKORD might have been specially made for composers and singers such as Kurt Weill, Marlene Dietrich, or Edith Piaf. The Akord name belongs to the PETROF Brand Family and one hundred years since its establishment is enjoying another successful period.

The production history of this piano goes back to 1948, shortly after the second world war. The brand is named after the famous Czech composer Zdeněk Fibich, a younger contemporary of Smetana and Dvořák. He was a leading exponent of musical romanticism and composed many operas, melodramas, and symphonic poems. Today, these pianos bear his name on the lid with pride and reverence.

Franz Scholze, the founder of this brand, entered the piano industry owing to his admirable skill. He showed this by successfully shortening a neighbor’s piano at a time when he still had no experience in this field. After learning the trade, he founded the Scholze company in 1876. Now PETROF is continuing the tradition of this name.
