Good question... It was more of a 'sucking air in through teeth' sort of warning about not putting it too close to sources of heat. Maybe some of the real experts out there can give us more of an idea. My thoughts would be on the wooden structure, no good furniture likes strong heat applied unevenly...

Just a thought... your piano in the photo is awfully close to a radiator, something we were warned against on the basis that it can cause damage to the piano...

That's a nice look, teak or walnut, they chose their woods well... Ours is sapele apparently... As for price, you'll probably get a real expert saying that they'd need to see it to make an assessment of the condition of the piano etc... If it helps to know, we coughed up Ł2700 for ours including the...

BTW, it would be kind of nice to see what a teak version looks like, if you have pictures available. We'd be building a 'resource' for future reference. Do you know how old your model is or anything else of interest?

Just a thought...

absolutely... it's only been in the house a month, and just about due for it's post-arrival tune-up, but it seems really good to my untrained ears. My son is well pleased, he's the real musician in the family and he's really getting stuck into it... I'm just the roadie, although not for the piano, o...

Congratulations... does it look like this?

Thanks for the guidance on tuning - we'll see how it goes... After some further rummaging I have found some more info on the paperwork that came in the post today, apparently it's a K 15 M series, which may or may not be linked to the fact it's a Mahogany case perhaps? I also have a serial number of...

"Spinet" is a rather strange american term for a small upright piano, and here in the UK, we don't normally use it, because they are not spinets, (a type of harpsichord) and don't even look like spinets, but it's a free country! I mainly deal with antique piano information, but I have tun...

We're in the process of getting a secondhand piano, a nice wee thing which we're told is a Knight K15. It's less than a metre tall and in the 'spinet' style, but I can't find any more info on it than that at the moment. Once it's delivered I can check for a serial number I guess and see if that give...
