              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Steinway
Musical Instruments, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three months
ended April 3, 1999 and April 1, 2000 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,
1999, 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 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for
the three months ended April 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that 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 all of its direct and indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries, including The Selmer Company, Inc. ("Selmer") and The Steinway
Piano Company, Inc. ("Steinway"). Significant intercompany balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications of 1999 amounts have been
made to conform to the 2000 financial statement presentation.

     INCOME PER SHARE - Basic income per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per
share reflects the effect of the Company's outstanding options using the
treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the weighted average shares used for
the basic and diluted computations for the three month periods ended April 3,
1999 and April 1, 2000 is as follows:

(5)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     Certain environmental matters are pending against a subsidiary of 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 a subsidiary 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.

(8)  SUMMARY OF MERGER AND GUARANTEES

     The acquisition of Steinway in May 1995 was funded by Selmer's issuance of
$105 million of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due 2005 and
available cash balances of the Company. Selmer's payment obligations under the
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
direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, 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


INTRODUCTION

         The Company, through its Steinway and Selmer subsidiaries, is one of
the world's leading manufacturers of musical instruments.

         Certain statements contained in the following Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's
present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions
that such statements are necessarily based on certain assumptions which are
subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in
general economic conditions, increased competition, exchange rate fluctuations,
and the availability of production capacity and qualified workers which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated herein. Further
information on these risk factors is included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and its Final Prospectus filed in
August 1996.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 3, 1999

         NET SALES - Net sales increased $4.6 million (6%) to $87.8 million in
the first quarter of 2000. This growth occurred in the piano segment where piano
sales increased $4.7 million (12%) over the prior year period. Overall piano
shipments increased 7%, with domestic shipments increasing 13%. Band and
orchestral instrument sales remained flat against the prior year period despite
a slight increase in unit shipments. This increase was offset by a decrease in
average selling prices attributable to a change in the volume incentive program
offered to band dealers. Rebate programs previously offered to these dealers,
the cost of which was included in operating expenses, were replaced with price
discount programs.

         GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit decreased by $0.8 million (3%) to $26.6
million in the first quarter of 2000. Gross margins decreased from 33.0% in 1999
to 30.3% in 2000. Piano margins decreased from 36.6% in 1999 to 34.3% in 2000
primarily due to a yen driven cost increase in the Boston line. Lower average
selling prices and production inefficiencies adversely affected band instrument
margins causing a decline from 29.8% in 1999 to 26.2% in 2000.

         OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million (6%)
to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2000. This decrease was primarily due
to the replacement of rebate programs, which generated $0.9 million of expense
in the prior year period, with price discount programs. Expenses as a percentage
of sales decreased from 18.8% in 1999 to 16.7% in 2000.

         OTHER EXPENSE, NET - Other expenses increased by $0.3 million (10%) to
$3.2 million in the first quarter of 2000. An increase in net interest expense
of $0.5 million, primarily relating to the West 57th Building term loan, was
offset by $0.4 million of income generated by the leasing of that property. Net
foreign currency exchange losses also increased by $0.2 million in 2000.

                                      13

<PAGE>

         INCOME TAXES - The Company's effective tax rate improved slightly from
41.6% in 1999 to 40.5% in 2000 primarily due to increased absorption of foreign
tax credits.


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 provided by operations in the first quarter was $1.7 million in
1999 and $6.1 million in 2000. A decrease in net working capital requirements of
$4.1 million contributed to the increase.

         The Company acquired the building that includes the Steinway Hall
retail showroom in New York City in the first quarter of 1999 for $30.8 million.
Additional capital expenditures of $0.8 million and $2.1 million in the first
quarter of 1999 and 2000, respectively, were primarily used for the purchase of
new machinery and building improvements. The Company expects to maintain this
level of capital spending in the future as it continues to modernize its
equipment and renovate its facilities in order to improve its production
efficiency.

         In January 2000, the Company's subsidiary, Steinway & Sons, acquired
Pianohaus Karl Lang, located in Munich, Germany, for approximately $2.3 million.
Pianohaus Karl Lang is Germany's largest retail piano store and is expected to
strengthen Steinway's foreign distribution network.

         The Company's domestic, seasonal borrowing requirements are
accommodated through a committed, revolving credit facility with a domestic
lender (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility provides the Company with a
potential borrowing capacity of up to $60 million, based on eligible accounts
receivable and inventory balances. The Credit Facility bears interest at the
Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% and expires April 1, 2004. As of April 1, 2000, no
amounts were outstanding and additional availability was approximately $60
million. Open account loans with foreign banks also provide for borrowings by
Steinway's foreign subsidiaries of up to 30 million Deutsche marks ($14.7
million at the April 1, 2000 exchange rate).

         The Company's long-term financing consists primarily of $110 million of
Senior Subordinated Notes and $21.6 million outstanding on a real estate term
loan. The Company's debt agreements contain restrictive covenants that place
certain restrictions on the Company, including restrictions on the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness, to make investments in other entities,
or to pay cash dividends. Beginning on June 1, 2000, the Senior Subordinated
Notes may be redeemed at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at 104.125%
of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
applicable redemption date.

         During the first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased 11,700 shares
of its common stock at a cost of $0.2 million.

         The Company has undertaken a major initiative to effect fundamental
changes in its band instrument manufacturing operations in 2000. New three-year
contracts with the unions representing Selmer's employees were completed at the
end of the first quarter. The project to implement the contract changes is
expected to take up to twenty-four months to complete and will require an
investment of approximately $2.0 million in 2000. While there will be certain
short-term expenses and production

                                      14

disruption associated with this project, the long-term benefits are expected
to be improved production flow, efficiency and quality.

         Management believes that cash on hand, together with cash flows
anticipated from operations and available borrowings under the Credit Facility,
will be adequate to meet debt service requirements, fund continuing capital
requirements and satisfy working capital and general corporate needs through
2000.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes new
standards of accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. This statement requires that all derivatives be recognized at
fair value in the balance sheet, and that the corresponding gains or losses
be reported either in the statement of operations or as a component of
comprehensive income, depending on the type of hedging relationship that
exists. The statement will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2001.
Management is currently evaluating the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company mitigates its
foreign currency exchange rate risk by maintaining foreign currency cash
balances and holding forward foreign currency contracts. These contracts are
used as a hedge against intercompany transactions and are not used for
trading or speculative purposes. The fair value of the forward foreign
currency exchange contracts is sensitive to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. The impact of an adverse change in foreign currency exchange
rates would not be materially different than that disclosed in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         The Company's Credit Facility and real estate term loan bear
interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in the Eurodollar rate and the
Libor rate, respectively. Substantially all of the Company's long-term debt,
except the term loan referred to above, is at fixed interest rates.
Accordingly, the Company's interest expense on its Credit Facility and real
estate term loan and the fair value of its fixed long-term debt is sensitive
to changes in market interest rates. The effect of an adverse change in
market interest rates on the Company's interest expense and the fair value of
its long-term debt would not be materially different than that disclosed in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
