Knight K10 Upright Piano - 1972
SOLD!
Knight Pianos were first produced in 1936 by Alfred E.
Knight. They are a highly prized respectable British maker of Pianos
made at the Laughton factory. They were the only other make of piano
besides Steinway in Steinway Hall London. The best years of production
was between 1960 and 1985 before they were taken over. This fine example
for sale is from 1972 - the pinnacle of high quality production. In
their advertising Knight stated that the spruce they use on their
soundboards is the same as that of the Stradivarius violin. For more
information on Knight please visit the
Wikipedia page, as it gives some insights on the amount of quality
put in to this instrument.
This piano has been thoroughly cleaned (both action and all internals),
Hammers reshaped and voiced to produced an even tone across the full
spectrum of the keyboard, regulated and pitch raised to a440 concert
pitch. I have no hesitation in recommending this Piano to any serious
pianist, as this particular model (K10) won the award for recommended
Piano by Music Teachers in the UK. It is an extremely well built Piano
(better built than some new made Pianos). Proudly boasting on the Knight
information label (see in the photos below) 'This instrument has been
specially constructed to withstand severe extremes of heat, dryness,
humidity and central heating in any part of the world'.
The casework does show signs of some wear due to age (1972), but is a
very desirable and attractive looking instrument.
I am also including a Piano stool with this Piano + free delivery and
first tuning (within a 10 mile radius from my location - Penn,
Wolverhampton)
