Hi David,<br>
Knabe grands have a laminated maple rim, Renner action, Italian Ciresa
sound board, Canadian Bolduc pin block. Renner blue hammers. Mapes bass
strings. They are regulated and voiced in California.<br>
I'm currently working on changing some of the action ratios to further
improved performance. <br>
Dip is currently at 11.2mm and is being changed to 10mm.<br>
Very positive response from pianist thus far. Detailing is the best
that I have seen from Korea thus far and will get better.<br>
6ft 4" is reverse engineered from late 20's scale. Will be
introduced at NAMM.<br>
But I may be the wrong person to ask.<br><br>
