                 STEINWAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    JUNE 29, 1996
                                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
                                     (UNAUDITED)


(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of
Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. (formerly Selmer Industries, Inc.) and
subsidiaries (the "Company") for the six months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1,
1995 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, these statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1995, and include all adjustments which
are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for the fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995.  The results of operations for the six months
ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
expected for the entire year.


(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements of
the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Selmer
Company, Inc. ("Selmer") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Steinway Musical
Properties, Inc. ("Steinway") and Vincent Bach International, Ltd. ("VBI").
Significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications of 1995 amounts have
been made to conform to the financial statement classification adopted in 1996.


(3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Certain environmental matters are pending against the Company, which
might result in monetary damages, the amount of which, if any, cannot be
determined at the present time.  Philips Electronics, a previous owner of the
Company, has agreed to hold the Company harmless from any financial liability
arising from these environmental matters which were pending as of December 29,
1988.  Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse
impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

(4) SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. is a holding company whose only
asset consists of its investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Selmer
Company, Inc.  Summarized financial information for The Selmer Company, Inc. and
subsidiaries is as follows:

(5) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On May 14, 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the public offering of shares of
its ordinary common stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $75
million.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay
existing indebtedness.  On July 3, 1996, the Company effected a 2.83-to-1 stock
split.  All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all
periods presented and give effect to the stock split.  Additionally, on July 3,
1996, the Company changed its name from Selmer Industries, Inc. to Steinway
Musical Instruments, Inc.


(6) SUMMARY OF MERGER AND GUARANTEES

         On May 25, 1995, Selmer acquired Steinway pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of April 11, 1995.  The total purchase price of
approximately $104 million, including fees and expenses, was funded by Selmer's
issuance of $105 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 and available
cash balances of the Company.

         The following pro forma financial information gives effect to the
acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 1995 (in thousands, except
per share data):

                                                            Six Months

                                                           July 1, 1995
                                                           ------------
Revenues                                                   $  115,640
Net income                                                        321
Net income per share                                           $  .06


                                          7

<PAGE>

         Selmer's payment obligations under the Senior Subordinated Notes are
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company
as Parent (the "Guarantor Parent"), and by Steinway and certain wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Steinway, each a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company and each a "Guarantor", (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries").  These
subsidiaries, together with the operating divisions of Selmer, represent all of
the operations of the Company conducted in the United States.  The remaining
subsidiaries, which do not guarantee the Notes, represent foreign operations
(the "Non Guarantor Subsidiaries").

         The following condensed consolidating supplementary data illustrates
the composition of the combined Guarantors.  Separate complete financial
statements of the respective Guarantors would not provide additional material
information which would be useful in assessing the financial composition of the
Guarantors.  No single Guarantor has any significant legal restrictions on the
ability of investors or creditors to obtain access to its assets in event of
default on the Guarantee other than its subordination to senior indebtedness.

         Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent on the
cost method for purposes of the supplemental consolidating presentation.
Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore not reflected in the parent's investment
accounts and earnings.  The principal elimination entries eliminate investments
in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) (UNAUDITED)

INTRODUCTION

    On May 25, 1995, Selmer acquired Steinway Musical Properties, Inc. for
approximately $104 million. The Steinway Acquisition was effected pursuant to a
Merger Agreement dated as of April 11, 1995.  The Steinway Acquisition is being
accounted for as a purchase for financial reporting purposes.  The interim
financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ending July 1,
1995 include the effects of the acquisition as well as the results of operations
for Steinway for the period May 25, 1995 to July 1, 1995.  On July 3, 1996, the
Company changed its name from Selmer Industries, Inc. to Steinway Musical
Instruments, Inc.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 1995

    NET SALES - Net sales increased by $24.5 million (61.6%) to $64.4 million
in the second quarter of 1996.  The Steinway Acquisition accounted for $20.9
million of the increase.

    GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $8.2 million (63.7%) to $21.0
million in the second quarter of 1996, after positive adjustments of $2.4
million in the second quarter of 1995 relating to purchase accounting
adjustments to inventory.  Steinway contributed $6.4 million of the increase.

    OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $4.9 million (62.8%)
to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 1996.  Steinway operating expenses
accounted for $4.3 million of the increase.

    EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS - Earnings from operations increased by $3.3
million (65.1%) to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 1996, after positive
adjustments of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 1995 relating to purchase
accounting adjustments to inventory.  Steinway contributed $2.1 million of the
increase in earnings during the period.

    NET INTEREST EXPENSE.  Net interest expense increased by $1.9 million
(63.9%) to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 primarily due to higher
outstanding long-term debt balances relating to the acquisition of Steinway.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 1995

    NET SALES - Net sales increased by $61.7 million (86.0%) to $133.4 million
in the first six months of 1996.  The Steinway Acquisition contributed $52.6
million of the increase for the first six months of 1996.  Selmer sales
increased $9.1 million (15.0%) with instrument unit growth of 7.6% representing
$3.8 million of the increase.  The balance of the increase relates to price
realization.

    GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $19.7 million (85.9%) to $42.7

million of the increase in earnings during the period.

    NET INTEREST EXPENSE.  Net interest expense increased by $5.0 million
(107.8%) to $9.6 million in the first six months of 1996 primarily due to higher
outstanding long-term debt balances relating to the acquisition of Steinway.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company has relied primarily upon cash provided by operations,
supplemented as necessary by seasonal borrowings under its working capital line,
to finance its operations, repay long-term indebtedness and fund capital
expenditures.

    Cash required for operations was $20.6 million for the six months ended
June 29, 1996 and $12.0 million for the same period in 1995.  Increases in
accounts receivable balances, primarily due to Selmer's financing arrangements
with its customers, offset by decreases in inventory balances and current
liability balances, contributed to the $29.0 increase in working capital from
December 31, 1995 to June 29, 1996.  The seasonal increase in receivables
generally peaks in September.  The Company anticipates that these balances will
decrease in October as customer payments accelerate and will continue to
decrease through the end of the year.

    Capital expenditures were $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the six month
periods ended in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These capital expenditures were
mainly used for the purchase of new machinery and building improvements.  The
Company expects to increase its level of capital expenditures in the future in
order to modernize, expand and renovate its equipment and facilities.  The
Company's debt agreements limit domestic capital expenditures to $5.0 million
per year.

    The Bank Credit Facility provides the Company with a potential borrowing
capacity of up to $60 million, based on eligible accounts receivable and
inventory balances.  As of June 29, 1996, $21.4 million was outstanding, and
availability was approximately $43.5 million.  Open account loans with foreign
banks also provide for borrowings by Steinway's foreign subsidiaries of up to 20
million Deutsche Marks.

    The Company's long-term financing consists primarily of $45 million of 11%
Senior Secured Notes, $10 million of 10.92% Senior Secured Notes and $110
million of Senior Subordinated Notes.  The Company's debt agreements contain
restrictive covenants that place certain restrictions on the Company, including
restrictions to the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, to make
investments in other entities, or to pay cash dividends.


                                          13

    On May 14, 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the public offering of shares of
its ordinary common stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $75
million.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay
existing indebtedness.  On July 3, 1996, the Company effected a 2.83-to-1 stock
split.  All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all
periods presented and give effect to the stock split.

    Management believes that cash on hand, together with cash flow anticipated
from operations and available borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility, will be
adequate to fund the Company's operations through 1996.
