Knabe
- Wm. Knabe pianos are handmade, limited production pianos
created in the finest tradition of the 300 years of piano crafting.
Production pianos have their place in the world of music. They are
tonally consistent and durable, but they lack the "soul" of a
handcrafted instrument. Each handmade Knabe has its own personality.
When you play a Knabe, you will sense the difference.

The craftsmanship that makes the Knabe the World's Best Piano is not the acquisition of one generation, but a pedigree of skills that have run through more than three hundred years. Not merely by the masters of this great industry, but in the families of employees where sons have succeeded fathers at the head of some particular branch of the art, and who in great part have suggested improvements where possible.
Making a great grand piano starts with the determination to not compromise in any aspect of the design, materials and craftsmanship. Through the years
 since its inception, the piano has been technically refined to the point of near perfection. There are time honored design features and specific materials that are known to produce the finest musical results.
Some components are ideally made of spruce while others require maple or hornbeam. Crafting a fine piano like the Knabe must be done by the hands of skilled and experienced craftsmen.
