I would imagine not too much difference. This Knabe is 6ft 4in long and the RBB is 6ft 11.5in. I've played both instruments and I can testify there is not too much difference in sound or bass!
@@Yalie06405 Really? Huh, I thought the BB's were 7 foot, maybe the RBB is a bit longer because of player system but I don't think that's the case when it's in a drawer. Probably depends on the piano too, your Knabes have phenomenal bass tone.
@PiotrBarcz You're right. With reproducing pianos that have drawers, generally there is not adding on to the length of the piano unless it's the Duo Art system, unless you have one of those later Duo Art systems that were in the Ampico B drawers. I think what helps with Knabes is that they have such wide tails compared to most pianos which adds more soundboard volume and generally makes them sound larger than their actual size.
Pretty much anything by Sousa seems fitting for American Independence Day... Happy Fourth!
Damn imagine how loud this roll would be on a Mason & Hamlin BB! It already is ridiculously loud on the little Knabe!

@@Yalie06405 Yeah, the boat tails are awesome for bass tone!
