Not enough information to go on such as age of the piano, serial number, exact model number ,bought new or used. The dealer prep may not have been good or there could have been poor work done by the factory etc . He should have a competent tech come and review exactly what the issues are.
A good regulation, setting damper timing, let-off , blow plus cleaning, polishing, lubrication key pins, checking key bushings etc could do wonders. Of course it could have been an older piano that was sold through a wholesale channel...

Subject: Petrof: heavy action?
Hi all,
I received an email from a musician who is considering some various verticals. He has a 46" Petrof and likes the sound, but complains of a "heavy action," and was told by a local dealer that "they're all like that and nothing can be done." I'm not his technician--he was just looking for other opinions. I have not seen or evaluated the piano, and seldom come across them in this area.
Is this commonly known? Any reasons or fixes for it?
thanks,
Scott
