Petrof P125 F1 PM Upright Piano

The PETROF P125 F1 PM is a 125 cm acoustic upright piano in polished mahogany, built for pianists who want the natural response of strings, hammers and a resonating wooden soundboard. Its sound has the warm, rounded character associated with PETROF instruments, while the cabinet combines traditional piano styling with a relatively restrained shape. It is a considered instrument for serious home practice, music teaching and smaller performance spaces where an acoustic grand would be impractical.

Resonance-spruce soundboard and acoustic tone

PETROF uses a spruce soundboard with ten shaped ribs in the P125 F1. The board is tapered, with a thickness that varies from approximately 9 mm to 7 mm, helping it respond to vibration from the strings. Together with the cast-iron plate and the instrument’s carefully designed scale, this produces a musical voice with depth across the registers. Unlike a digital piano, every note begins with a hammer striking a real string, and its colour changes continuously with the player’s touch. This makes the instrument rewarding for pianists learning to shape musical lines through dynamics and pedalling.

88 keys, three pedals and nuanced control

The full acoustic keyboard provides the 88-note range needed for standard piano repertoire. A conventional right damper pedal allows sounds to sustain, while the left piano pedal helps soften the response. The centre moderator pedal reduces the sound for quieter practice, although an acoustic upright will not become silent. PETROF also specifies a slow-closing fallboard mechanism to make everyday use of the keyboard cover more comfortable. Players working on tonal control can benefit from the direct mechanical relationship between fingers, action and sound.

Polished mahogany finish and exact dimensions

The P125 F1 PM has a high-polish mahogany finish with a warm, classic appearance. PETROF specifies a height of 125 cm, width of 146.3 cm and depth of 59 cm. Its listed weight is 236 kg, so delivery requires careful planning for doorways, stairs, lifts and floor access. The cabinet uses a combination of solid wood, plywood and engineered materials, while the soundboard remains a specialist acoustic component. These dimensions are particularly helpful when comparing an upright with compact digital cabinets.

Who is this acoustic upright piano for?

This is a suitable option for pianists who value acoustic tone, responsive touch and the experience of playing a physical instrument. It also makes sense in teaching environments where students need experience with real action and damper behaviour. Unlike a digital piano, it will need professional tuning, sensible humidity management and appropriate placement away from excessive heat or direct airflow. Ask Barbad about your intended room, the exact bench or chair package, delivery access and after-sales piano care in the UAE before committing to the purchase.

Compare PETROF upright sizes and room fit

PETROF lists the P125 F1 cabinet as 125 cm high, 146.3 cm wide and 59 cm deep. These are instrument dimensions, not the complete clearance needed for a bench, transport or installation. The PETROF upright comparison guide places it alongside P118, P125, P127 Next and taller options. Check the manufacturer’s exact P125 F1 specifications and confirm local delivery access, finish and the unit’s current availability with Barbad before ordering.
