Musical Machines In Their Original Settings
By Kurt Morrison 

The Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington, has its original
5'8" Knabe Ampico grand piano in a Louis XIV art case.  It resides
on the first mezzanine in the same location as on the opening night
in 1928.

It is fully operational and demonstrated on a regular (without a
pandemic) basis.  It has been in my care for over 15 years now.
I posted photos [below] of the piano in 1928 and currently.
