Wm Knabe & Co. Pianos

The Knabe Piano story begins two hundred years ago in the village of Kreutzberg, Germany, with the birth of Wilhelm Knabe in 1803. After a formal education to prepare himself for a professional career, he decided to apprentice himself to a German maker of pianofortes and develop the art of piano-making.afer learning his new trade at various German piano makers he eventually migrated to the United states in1833. Eventually he launched out on his own in 1837 with his partner , Henry Gaehle .

In 1854 William bought out his partner and changed the name of the firm to Wm Knabe & Co. Milestones in Knabe pianos include Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky's concert on a Knabe piano officially opening Carnegie Hall. President Rutherford B.Haye's 'installation of a Knabe in the Whitehouse's official residence, and in 1879 the Knabe was the first piano purchased for Japanese classrooms.
