When power is needed the 70 will respond. This piano can cut through the full symphony orchestra to dominate the stage and bring any of the great piano concertos to life. This is the piano for large auditoriums, major recording studios where piano solo albums are produced or where strong support for vocals is desired. While being the most powerful of the Wm. Knabe grands, it still possesses the unique Knabe warmth of tone that makes it the true "opera piano."
