Knight pianos used Herburger Brooks / Schwander actions. This was closed and the workers reopened the Langer action coy but I do not know if they are still operating. You could try one of the English suppliers:- Fletcher & Newman or Heckschers. You can find their websites on the Piano Page under Manufactures.

They went out of business some years later and their interests we bought by Welmar (Whelpdale Maxwell & Codd) They continued making the Knight piano until they went out of business last year. Kemble at Milton Keynes were bought by Yamaha and they now make the Yamaha piano there. Bob Wilson ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
