Hi Bill Thank you for the quick response. I checked your very informative site and have looked at the other keys. It seems that the only mark I could find is that on the last bass key, in pic 4. To me, it appears to be 922, albeit penned very eloquently ... looks clearer in close than in the pic and...

I have some pictures on a picasa link that should show enough detail for all to get a good look at the identifying numbers inside the K 10. I hope that this really helps answer any open questions. please try this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/118188551928335231682/KNIGHTPIANO2011?authkey=Gv1sRgC...

Now I know why I couldn't find the brass end keys! Because the piano was specially made for this climate, as the label actually states. Florida is a pretty hot and humid place and I am going to guess that some of these types were exported to other parts of the world with similar climates, with sligh...

And yet another point I forgot to comment on directly in your last post "...the keys should be dated, " Other than looking at the top of the striking are (? I really am coming up short in my ability to describe parts of the piano - I just don't have the knowlege, sorry), what do you mean b...

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this part of your post: "... i don't understand what you are saying about... "The wood internal frame was finished in March 1965, the 60th of the year, and also placed in finished components inventory, as evidenced by the engraved marking in the wood, 36560, jus...

Bill You are right, of course, it may all be conjecture on my part, but it has become an enjoyable task to try and make some logical conclusion out of the data. As the rank amateuer, I get a prudent nudge on this one. The final 'expert opinion' is up to yourself and others that possess a collective ...

Bill As you suggested, I took off the upper front casing cover and had a look around. I checked the bass keys and did find one marked on the outermost bass key, a handwritten inscription '922'. I then looked to the right and found what I think is the serial number, 37373. I made a series of pictures...

Tnahks Bill I will see if I can open the top half. I'm really new to this, so I didn't want to take any liberties with opening it up like that. The bottom half was so very obvious that I popped it right off. I will try and take some pics of that for you. It will be difficult to see the stamped in nu...

Thank you very much for your help. No pictures yet but I popped the lower panel (below keyboard) off and found the following stamped into the bronze colored metal chassis, lower right Horizontal: K10 HD directly below that, vertical: 23-11-64 a bit above that, stamped in the wood, 36560 If I had to ...

I inherited my father's Knight a while back and am curious as to its history. I don't have much to go on but I have seen that there are some very knowledgeable and helpful persons here that might be able to help me find out more about it. On the inside there are two "labels", which is all ...
