The 6' 4" Knabe Grand piano
was built in 1970. It was
refurbished by Larry Buck in
2007. The hammers are new and
the action was worked on
extensively. The result is an
instrument that is very pleasing
to play. The timbre is not
bright. It has a rich interesting
sound.
The lowest notes are full because of
the instruments size. The middle
register is rich in color and the high
notes are wonderfully clear. The
instrument stays in tune very well.
This is in no small part because the
live room is kept at as constant a
temperature and humidity as
possible.
