Presenting an exceptional investment-grade instrument for the discerning musician or collector. This 1910 Wm. Knabe & Co. Parlor Grand Piano was handcrafted in the legendary Baltimore, Maryland factory during the zenith of American piano engineering. Celebrated as the historic choice of the Metropolitan Opera, Knabe instruments from this "Golden Era" possess a distinct, vocal-like "singing" tone and unparalleled structural artistry that modern mass production cannot replicate.

Unrivaled Maintenance History:
Unlike common vintage finds, this heirloom grand piano has been cherished under strict climate and maintenance standards, boasting an uninterrupted history of professional annual tuning. Because the structural tension has been expertly maintained every year without fail, the cast-iron plate, soundboard, and pinblock remain in optimal health. The instrument holds its pitch flawlessly and delivers a rich, deeply resonant bass register paired with a brilliant, clear treble. The mechanical action is incredibly responsive, fluid, and satisfying to play.
