               STEINWAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JULY 1, 2000
                        (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 month
and six month periods ended July 3, 1999 and July 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 and six months ended July 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 and six month periods
ended July 3, 1999 and July 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.

     The Company has identified two distinct and reportable segments: the piano
segment and the band and orchestral instrument segment. These segments were
selected based upon the way in which management oversees and evaluates the
results of each operation. The following tables present information about the
Company's operating segments for the three month and six month periods ended
July 3, 1999 and July 1, 2000:

(8)  SUMMARY OF 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
          (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

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

     NET SALES - Net sales increased $1.7 million (2%) to $77.8 million in the
second quarter of 2000. Nearly all of the sales growth was generated by piano
sales which increased $1.6 million (4%). Overall piano shipments remained flat,
with Steinway & Sons units increasing 2% over the prior year period. Boston
units increased 7% domestically but declined 25% in foreign markets. The
strengthening of the yen significantly increased Boston piano costs. The
resulting price increases negatively affected Boston sales, particularly in
Europe. Band and orchestral instrument sales were virtually flat with the prior
year period. Modest price increases offset a slight decline in units.

     GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $0.2 million (1%) to $24.9 million
in the second quarter of 2000. Gross margins decreased from 32.5% in 1999 to
32.0% in 2000. Piano margins decreased from 34.9% in 1999 to 34.6% in 2000 as a
result of a yen driven cost increase in the Boston line. Band and orchestral
instrument margins were adversely affected by this year's change to a
volume-based price discount program from a rebate program in 1999. This resulted
in a decline in band margins from 29.4% in 1999 to 28.7% in 2000.

     OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $0.2 million (2%) to
$14.3 million in the second quarter of 2000. Expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased from 18.4% in 1999 to 18.3% in 2000.

     OTHER EXPENSE, NET - Other expenses remained virtually flat with the prior
year period. A slight increase in net interest expense was offset by foreign
currency exchange gains in the current year period.


                                       13
<PAGE>

     INCOME TAXES - The Company's effective tax rate remained relatively flat at
40.3% and 40.5% in the second quarter of 1999 and 2000, respectively. These
rates reflect a consistent mix of income and foreign tax credit absorption in
the two periods.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 3, 1999

     NET SALES - Net sales increased $6.3 million (4%) to $165.6 million in the
first six months of 2000. Piano sales increased $6.2 million (8%) in 2000 on
unit increases of 6% for Steinway pianos and 1% for the Boston line. Band and
orchestral instrument sales and units remained virtually flat with the prior
year period.

     GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit decreased by $0.6 million (1%) to $51.5 million
in the first six months of 2000. Gross margins declined from 32.7% in 1999 to
31.1% in 2000. Piano margins decreased from 35.7% in 1999 to 34.5% in 2000
primarily due to increased costs in the Boston line caused by a stronger yen.
Lower average selling prices and production inefficiencies in the first quarter
adversely affected band instrument margins resulting in a decline in margins
from 29.6% in 1999 to 27.3% in 2000.

     OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses decreased by $0.8 million (3%) to
$28.9 million in the current year period. This decrease is primarily due to the
replacement of rebate programs, which generated $1.7 million of expense in the
prior year period, with price discount programs, which are recorded as
reductions of revenue. Expenses as a percentage of sales decreased slightly from
18.6% in 1999 to 17.5% in 2000.

     OTHER EXPENSE, NET - Other expenses increased by $0.3 million (6%) to $6.3
million in the current year period. An increase in net interest expense of $0.7
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.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company's effective tax rate decreased slightly from
41.0% in 1999 to 40.5% in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to increased
absorption of foreign tax credits in the current year period.


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 used in operations in the first six months was $12.4 million in 1999
and $12.9 million in 2000. Net working capital requirements increased from $27.0
million in 1999 to $27.7 million in 2000. A temporary buildup of Boston piano
inventory resulting from the decline in foreign shipments of this product in the
second quarter contributed to the increase in working capital requirements.

     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 $1.9 million and $4.2 million in the first
six months 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


                                       14
<PAGE>

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 July 1, 2000, $17.8 million was
outstanding and availability was approximately $42.2 million. Open account loans
with foreign banks also provide for borrowings by Steinway's foreign
subsidiaries of up to 30 million Deutsche marks ($14.6 million at the July 1,
2000 exchange rate).

     The Company's long-term financing consists primarily of $110 million of
Senior Subordinated Notes and the $21.8 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. On June 1, 2000, the Senior Subordinated
Notes became redeemable 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.

     The Company repurchased 15,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $0.3
million during the second quarter of 2000. A total of 26,700 shares have been
repurchased in 2000 at a cost of $0.5 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 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 existing debt service requirements, fund continuing capital
requirements and satisfy working capital and general corporate needs through
2000.

     On July 20, 2000 the Company signed an agreement to acquire United Musical

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.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition", which sets
forth the SEC's views on appropriate revenue recognition practices. The Company
believes that its current revenue recognition practices are in accordance with
SAB No. 101 and does not expect any impact when the bulletin becomes effective.


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.
