Comments
This is a pretty excellent piano. It's very similar to a Yamaha U1. To tune the stability, it's a little bit hard to work with the purity of the notes. Maybe the bridge, not sure what that is. Maybe the posts. Lovely tone, even, balanced, and a very responsive piano. It's very close to a Yamaha U1.

No break in the bridge makes this an interesting design.
Comments
Older Knight model, not quite as refined as model K10 or K20 I deffer to Marcus Roberts my father for the proper assessment, good quality, touch leaves a little to be desired, but good piano tone for the size no break in the bridge makes this an interesting design.

Moderate effort went into materials labor yet touch is very good.
Comments
A entry level baby grand piano from Chinese factory part owned by the communist party. Inexpensive better than spinets and consoles and in good condition better than unrestored grands yet not like Japanese labor or better Chinese factories.
