Nora, We all have our opinion and here is mine. You have a real sweetheart there and I enjoy them. It is not a Bose and it is not 18 ft long, but it can be a rather decent piano and I for one am partial to a Knave any way.

Hello all, Any hints, tips, FYIs, or sage words of wisdom for restoring a 5'8" 1926 Knabe grand? Is there anything special (inherent to this piano) I should look out for and address in the restoration process? Philosophical question: is it still a 1926 Knabe if little things unique to a Knabe of that time period are changed (i.e., replacing the center rail key pins and key buttons with modern ones)? If it's not a flaw or poor design, I just think it would be cooler to have the original design, but what a hassle it would be for replacing key buttons and bushings! What are your thoughts?
