  • What Does "Wm" mean?

  • Wm means William. On occasion Wm. Knabe & Co. would be spelled out to appear as William Knabe & Co.

  • Again thanks a lot for the informative and well thought out video. You're a big help in my search for a well maintained used piano. I hope to see more of your videos and playing in the future! Keep it up.

  • It is important for all perspective piano buyer to get as much information as possible before they buy a piano.

  • I was reading the tape measure that I placed on the floor if you noticed it on the video. If you noticed I was using a yardstick and I was placing it at various points do demonstrate the different sizes of grand pianos that are available. I hope that I explained things to you. If you have any other comment, please post them.

  • Very well done, thorough, informative and concise. I hope you post a video explaining the basic differences in manufacturers, and their respective merits and shortcomings. it might help to explain value-added in terms of case condition. Some buyers might be less interested in case condition, hence a better playing/sounding instrument for the buck. Tell your viewers that when making a selection, ignore salespeople, and use your gut instinct based simply on sound and playability. KUDOS JEFF!

  • This is extremely informative, wish there were more videos like this one. Pianos are fantastic instruments which require periodical care and maintenance.
