Knabe pianos are known for their distinctively mellow
and warmly melodic sounds that compare to the lyric richness
of a human voice.
Specially designed and hand assembled, each
instrument uses selected wood for unsurpassed resonance and
is carefully regulated to produce a consistent tonal quality
throughout the scale.
Knabe was the official piano of the Metropolitan
Opera house for over 40 years.
Knabe pianos have been owned by an impressive list of
famous owners including: Albert Einstein, Brigham Young,
Francis Scott Key and Elvis Presley.
