Artist Music pianos

There's never been anything quite like a Knabe piano. Handmade and created in the finest tradition of over 300 years of piano crafting, these limited production pianos have their own distinct look, feel and personality. When you play a Knabe, you will sense the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Chosen by the Metropolitan Opera, scientists Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison, musicians Saint-Saëns and Elvis Presley, and musicians Arthur Rubenstein and Peter Tchaikovsky (who chose a Knabe to debut Carnegie Hall’s first concert), Knabe pianos have been a fixture of the American Classical and Popular music for over almost two centuries.

William Knabe's Baltimore Piano Factory
Knabe's Baltimore-made pianos were ranked, along with Steinway, as some of the finest musical instruments constructed in North America.  After production of Knabe pianos was moved to New York, the original factory sat dormant and was eventually razed to make way for Baltimore's M&T Stadium, home of the Ravens!  The Knabe factory's original dome is now at Baltimore's Museum of Industry, and the M&T stadium's builders commemorated the site with a keyboard mosaic at the southwest end of the stadium.
