The Knabe development is the result of
concentrated effort of skilled craftsmen
The effect of heredity in a mechanical sense is well illus-
trated in the history of the house of Knabe.
For seventy-five years there has been continuous and
well directed effort in the production of pianos of the highest
artistic grade culminating in the 1912 Knabe—"the best in
the world/'
The grandsons of workmen who were associated with
the founder of the Knabe business are to-day at work in the
great Baltimore factory, and the efforts of hundreds of work-
men imbued with the desire to create the most artistic product
possible, has been really the force which has made the Knabe
piano triumphant throughout the world.
The Knabe piano shows how the laws of heredity, as
applied to mechanical skill, can descend from father to son,
with the same results which have been accomplished in certain
sections in Europe where the descendants of skilled operatives
for many generations have followed the professions of their
ancestors, and the result has been an unbeatable standard. *
The same rules hold good in the history of the Knabe,
"the world's best piano/'
