The tuning is so clear and crisp, just like a Knabe should be. I understand by more than one tuner that Knabe pianos tune out perfectly and not all do.
Beautiful piano and gorgeous tuning. It never ceases to amaze me how people will pay thousands of dollars for a reproducing player yet will scrimp on the tuning. Thank you for this stellar posting. I hope to hear more:))
wow, this guy's pretty rare. nice! most player pianos you see arent nearly as nice, are uprights, and don't have the expression control, not to mention the pull-out mechanism and automatic "rewind" or reroll. great!!
The music in the intro, composed by the late Scott Joplin was that played by a player piano too? Before the piano was shown here playing a piece by the late Irving Berlin. Overall, very nice video!
Have the hammers been replaced in this Knabe? If so, do you know what brand of hammers were used? They really sound original and voiced nicely.

I have an identical Knabe Ampico B
in the Louis XV case. Great reproducer.
The veneer work on these is beautiful.
