Do they still make kemmler pianos, how would you regard them as
a piano, quality against a knight.

No they don't, but a small number of cheap Chinese pieces of crap* were labelled up with that name and sold by a dealer in the Welsh borders a few years back. Avoid.

Thomas Crapper invented the flushing toilet. People began to call it the "Crapper", so they naturally referred to what went down it as "Crap". I have been asked to point out that this is not a swear word.

Historically accurate as always, Bill!

Now would you agree that my use of the word to describe an early '90s Chinese piano was justified and accurate?
