my new (to me) Knight
Hi,
I just purchased a Knight piano for $350. The serial number is 35282. I've attached a picture. I think it is a K20 because all the pictures of K10s I saw look like studio size and this is a console. I haven't had it tuned yet but it has a really nice sound. When I search for pictures of Knights I rarely see this one so it's hard to learn more about it.
Is there anything you can tell me about this instrument?
Thanks so much!
Annie

I am afraid the concept of "studio size" or "console" is an American one, and I have no idea what those terms mean. The number suggests that it was made shortly after 1963, but it should be dated on the keys, as described at

It looks a bit like their K20 "Cottage Piano" model, mentioned in a recent posting to this forum, about ten items further down the list.
