Knight pianos are highly sought after. This London model is built on the Knight K10 frame. The Knight iron frame offers twice the strength of those in an average piano. It is a full-perimeter frame, meaning that the frame is square, making it extremely rigid, and considerably heavier than other studio pianos of this size. The design also eliminates the treble bar, increasing the volume and projection of the upper notes.
Alfred Knight, Ltd., of England makes the unusual claim of being the youngest large-scale manufacturer of pianos. The founder, Alfred Knight, came from a family long associated with the building of fine pianos; and he was apprenticed at an early age. After completing his apprenticeship and formative training his interest turned to pianoforte design and in 1935 he realized his ambition of founding a new plant with up-to-date machinery. North London was chosen as a location where skilled workers were available and a nucleus of experienced men welcomed the idea of joining a new company with progressive ideas and scope for advancement under practical directorship. In laying down designs for the new range of pianos. Alfred Knight's progressive ideas were tempered by those of his key workers whose combined experience totaled well over a thousand years, and by constant contact with his many friends among concert and orchestra pianists.
Although Alfred Knight died in September 1974, the business remains a family one. His daughter, Sylvia, has taken over as managing director and her husband, John York, is also a director. They and all their staff are determined to carry on the quality of workmanship in the Knight tradition. Address: Langston Road, Debden Estate, Loughton, Essex, England.
