Knabe grand reputation

I don't see many Knabe grands but I have heard good reports about them. One I saw the other day is about 5'4" from the early 1930's. Unfortunately, we have a farmer on the Niagara Peninsula who is selling used grands, one by one (private?) from his house. This one is cheaply refinished and mechanically butchered in many ways. But it sounds pretty good and has much potential.

Question. What makes the Knabe seem to have such a good reputation from that era?

Unbiased answers only. Thanks.
