Knake (Münster) was also one of the most recognized pianoforte manufacturers around 1900 - but today it is only known to a few. This magnificent concert grand is another rarity. The grand piano construction is very solid. Apart from new hammers, the grand piano is completely original. It has an impressive sound. A special detail - the rollers on the legs are made of Bakelite or similar - we have never seen anything like this on a concert grand piano.
