>Hello all, > >A local music store has a NEW "Knight" upright piano for sale. I have >personally not seen it.

It is amazing how fast you can get through 387 messages, gleaning the useful from the useless faced with a quantity like that in a limited time?... To the point, I have owned an upright Knight for about 8 years now and absolutely adore it as a musician and as a piano tech and teacher. Superb. It does have a tendency to go out of tune a bit quicker in this swingy Virginia climate due to the lighter construction. It has such a beautiful touch and sound, supple, subtle, responsive, emotive, so very very controllable. It has always played like a dream and required minimal adjustments despite the fact that it gets heavy use in my teaching studio. My particular Knight is also very beautiful, teak, simple, splendid. Highly recommended. Two thumbs up. ab >Rob Goodale, RPT Anne Beetem Harpsichords & Historic Pianos 2070 Bingham Ct. Reston, VA 20191 abeetem@wizard.net
