I have only come across a couple of these pianos in my time in the piano business, and I was ecstatic to have the chance to work with it. Knabe has been known in the piano world as one of the best since the late 1800s. Up until the 1940s they were pretty neck in neck with Steinway in the golden era of American piano manufacturing. For a long period of time The Metropolitan Opera played only Knabe concert grands. They produce an impeccable tone, and second to none quality. What is so quique about this piano is that it is a vintage design replicated in a modern era.
I have had this exact same model piano produced by Knabe in the 1920s.
The company (under new ownership) decided to reproduce this iconic 1920s model to the T in the 1980s.
The cabinet, scale design, and action design are identical to the 1920s Knabe grands. This piano in particular has been very well kept its whole life.
The Mother who originally purchased it for her children had a very strict "nothing is placed on top of the piano" rule.
It definitely shows, there isn't a mark on the lid. More importantly than the cosmetics on this piano is the quality of action touch and tone.
It has a very even feel to the action with a mid range in touch weight (not too heavy).
I was very surprised in the tone that the bass when I first played it.
The bass section is very deep, and the rest of the register is well rounded and crisp. The piano has received the following services in our shop:- Satin lines hand rubbed into case (this made the satin finish look brand new)
- Clean and detail of strings/soundboard/plate/action/keyboard
- Polishing of all brass hardware and perimeter bolts (with high grade german polish)
- Full keyboard level with proper dip measurements at Knabe specifications
- Full concert level action regulation to Knabe specifications.
- Hammer voicing
- String to bridge service
- A440 concert tuning. This piano is ready for a new home, and another lifetime worth of playing.We are happy to assist with moving/delivery. Thank you for your consideration.
