		Lorsque j'habitais a Prague, Petrof n'etait pas cher, mais maintenant il serais devenu tres cher.
		I also own a Yamaha upright and I can attest that the sound is really different than that of the Estonia. The Yamaha I purchased to keep in my office where space is more limited. It’s a great sounding piano but it is surely brighter than the other one (even after having it voiced).
		In the end it’s all a matter of personal preference and, if you know that the Petrof is the piano for you, you’ll be disappointed if you end up buying a different brand just because you were thinking of re-sale value.
