Frequently Asked Questions

Is Knight a good piano brand?

Yes. Knight was one of Britain's most respected piano manufacturers of the 20th century, producing instruments in London to a consistently high domestic standard. Knight uprights are well regarded for their solid construction, warm tone, and durability. They are among the better British domestic pianos available on the used market and are increasingly sought after by buyers who appreciate quality British craftsmanship.

Is a blue piano finish practical?

A high-gloss coloured lacquer like this blue finish is as durable as a standard polyester piano finish in normal domestic use. It will show fingerprints and require the same care as any high-gloss piano cabinet, a soft cloth and piano polish are all that is needed. The visual impact is considerable and makes this an instrument that commands attention in any room. It suits contemporary interiors, music studios, and anyone who wants something genuinely distinctive.

How does a Knight compare to a Yamaha or Kawai at a similar price?

A Yamaha or Kawai from a similar price range is a Japanese instrument with a brighter, more even tone and modern production consistency. A Knight is a British instrument with a warmer, more characterful sound and a strong domestic heritage. Both are capable instruments. The Knight at this price also offers the additional appeal of a completely unique finish that no Japanese instrument at this price point comes close to matching. We are happy to let you compare both in our showroom.

Has this piano been prepared before sale?

Yes. This instrument has been assessed and prepared by our team at The Piano Gallery and is ready to play. We are transparent about the condition of every piano we sell and happy to answer detailed questions before purchase.

How long will a Knight upright last?

A well-maintained Knight upright should give many more decades of reliable service. Knight built their instruments to a solid British standard, and with regular tuning, correct placement, and occasional action regulation, a Knight can remain a pleasure to play for a very long time.
