All of the pre-1930 Knabes that I have serviced or rebuilt are among my
favorite 3 brands - S&S, M&H, and Knabe.  Not as powerful as the other
two, perhaps, but a wonderful balance in tone from top to bottom has
seemed to be a trademark, making me think it to be perhaps the ideal
accompaniment piano.

The Aeolian version is pretty average, though.
