| Comments on this make |
Highly respected British maker. Best between about 1960 and 1985; They were the only make of piano in Steinway Hall alongside Steinway, as in our opinion Steinway didn't have a good small upright piano at the time. They have a rich warm tone, refined firm touch and are extremely stable with central heating. Knight pianos dating before1960 have a more dated style of casework. Apart from a few baby grands nearly all Knight pianos are modern upright pianos from 100 to 110 cm high. Colours are about 65% mahogany, 20% teak, 10% walnut, 5% other. If you are looking for a small upright piano, then a Knight is an excellent choice. We usually have at least two or three Knight uprights in stock.
