The model 53 is the "perfect piano" for the home. Its beautiful voice will fill a room with warm, glorious music. The size of the 53 makes it a comfortable fit in the living room, music room or even an alcove where space is definitely limited. This wonderful instrument possesses all of the tonal potential of the largest, most powerful Wm. Knabe grand pianos; it just does not have as loud of a voice as some of its larger siblings.
