About Wm. Knabe & Co.
Founded in 1837, Wm. Knabe & Co. is one of America’s great historic piano makers, long admired for its warm,
expressive tone and refined musical character. Knabe pianos were widely respected in concert halls, conservatories,
and homes throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The KN-520 was built during the respected Samick ownership era, combining traditional Knabe design principles with
modern manufacturing consistency and reliability.
The KN-520 as a Musical Instrument
This is a true 5’3″ baby grand, offering a larger musical scale, fuller tone, and stronger bass response than smaller entry-level grands.
Designed to compete with Yamaha C1 and Kawai RX-1–class instruments, the KN-520 delivers a balanced, responsive action and the warm,
expressive tone Knabe is known for, all housed in an elegant high-polish ebony cabinet.
Exceptional Value
