Gold letters for Knight piano.

I have a Knight upright piano. Serial No. 70224 possibly made in 1989.
Some of the gold stick-on letters are missing. The L in LONDON is missing, and the N, I, H and T are missing in KNIGHT. Is it possible to purchase a new set of letters, and if so who sells them?

I have a number of the earlier Knight badges made of nicely moulded plastic which I routinely used to replace the awful gold foil letters with, although if you want originals it may be worth contacting Cheltenham Piano Centre who bought the last Knights and completed them for sale when the factory ceased production to see if they have any left over.

Most signwriting/graphics shops should be able to bang something out that's a close match (font-wise) in gold vinyl for a few quid.

Yeah, it's fairly standard. Times New Roman I think.

Thank you PianoGuy. I contacted Cheltenham Piano Centre and they do have the gold stick-on letters for Knight pianos. They charge 10 pounds for a new set of letters. I ordered some. Thanks again.

use masking tape to secure a good ruler underneath the lettering so you get it nice and straight

I wish I had a pound for every Knight piano with letters missing. saw a kight yesterday
