              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 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 nine month periods ended October 2, 1999 and September 30, 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
and Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during
2000. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire year.

     On September 15, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of United
Musical Instruments Holdings, Inc. ("UMI") pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of July 20, 2000. The acquisition of UMI, as more fully
discussed in Note 3, was accounted for as a purchase. The total purchase
price has been allocated to UMI's assets and liabilities based on preliminary
valuations of their relative fair values as of the closing date. These
valuations include estimates and are subject to further review and
adjustments. The financial statements of the Company for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 include the effects of the acquisition and the
results of operations for UMI for the period September 15 to September 30,
2000.

(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"), The Steinway Piano
Company, Inc. ("Steinway") and UMI. Significant intercompany balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

     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 nine month periods
ended October 2, 1999 and September 30, 2000 is as follows:

Agreement dated as of July 20, 2000. The Company's existing lender funded the
total purchase price of $84 million, including the assumption of approximately
$57 million of debt, through an amended and restated credit agreement that
expires on September 14, 2008. The amended agreement provided a $45 million term
loan and increased the Company's potential borrowing capacity for its domestic
seasonal borrowing requirements from $60 million to $120 million in revolving
credit loans. The term loan is repayable in monthly installments of $417 for the
first five years and monthly installments of $556 in years six through eight.
The term loan and revolving credit loans bear interest at the average 30-day
Libor rate plus 1.75%.

     Cash flow information with respect to the acquisition of UMI is as follows:

(6)  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.

(9)  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, UMI 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. Effective September 15,
2000, the Company completed the acquisition of United Musical Instruments
Holdings, Inc. ("UMI") through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Selmer. The
acquisition of UMI was accounted for as a purchase for financial reporting
purposes. The aggregate purchase price approximated $84.0 million, including the
assumption of approximately $57.0 million of debt. The purchase price has been
allocated to UMI's assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values as
of the closing date. These valuations include estimates and are subject to
further review and adjustments. The financial statements of the Company for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 include the effects of the acquisition and
the results of operations for UMI for the period September 15 to September 30,
2000.

     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 SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2,
1999

     NET SALES - Net sales increased $3.0 million (4%) to $75.7 million in the
third quarter of 2000. Piano sales increased $0.7 million (2%) despite a $1.5
million negative foreign currency translation impact. Increased foreign demand
drove Steinway & Sons piano unit shipments up 19% while domestic units increased
6%. Yen driven cost increases have forced the Company to increase prices on its
Boston piano line twice during the last twelve months. Together with increased
competition, these price increases slowed the Boston business considerably,
particularly in the U.S. where unit shipments declined 28%. Band and orchestral
instrument sales increased $2.3 million (7%) on an overall unit sales increase
of 10%.

     GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $1.4 million (6%) to $23.4
million. Gross margins increased from 30.3% in 1999 to 31.0% in 2000. Piano
margins increased from 34.0% in 1999 to 35.3% in 2000 as a result of strong
retail sales, coupled with a shift in sales mix from Boston pianos to Steinway &
Sons pianos. Band and orchestral instrument margins increased slightly from
25.7% in 1999 to 25.8% in 2000.

     OPERATING EXPENSES - Overall operating expenses increased by $2.2 million
(16%) to $15.9 million in the third quarter. These expenses included $1.3
million of non-recurring charges directly related to the acquisition of UMI and
$0.2 million of expenses associated with the relocation of Emerson flute
production from leased facilities into UMI facilities. Excluding the effect of
non-recurring charges in the quarter, expenses as a percentage of sales
increased slightly from 18.8% in 1999 to 19.0% in 2000.

     OTHER EXPENSE, NET - Other expenses increased by $1.0 million (35%) to $3.9
million. Net interest expense increased $0.6 million in the current year period
due to higher average debt balances and the acquisition of UMI.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 37.0% in
1999 to 23.0% in 2000, reflecting a one-time tax benefit of $0.8 million
associated with the reduction of deferred tax balances caused by a decrease in
the German tax rate.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2,
1999

     NET SALES - Net sales increased $9.3 million (4%) to $241.3 million in the
first nine months of 2000. Piano sales increased $6.9 million (6%) over the
prior year period. Unit increases of 7% for Steinway pianos more than offset an
8% decline in Boston units. Band and orchestral instrument sales increased $2.4
million (2%) on a 3% increase in unit shipments.

     GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased by $0.8 million (1%) to $75.0 million
in 2000. Gross margins declined from 32.0% in 1999 to 31.1% in 2000. Piano
margins decreased from 35.1% in 1999 to 34.7% 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 half of the year adversely affected
band instrument margins resulting in a decline in margins from 28.5% in 1999 to
26.9% in 2000.

     OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased by $1.5 million (3%) to
$44.8 million in the current year period. Excluding non-recurring charges
incurred in the third quarter, operating expenses remained flat with the prior
year. Expenses as a percentage of sales decreased slightly from 18.7% in 1999 to
18.6% in 2000.

     OTHER EXPENSE, NET - Other expenses increased by $1.3 million (15%) to
$10.2 million in the current year period. Virtually all of the increase can be
attributed to higher net interest expense resulting from higher average
outstanding debt balances and the acquisition of UMI.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 40.0% in
1999 to 37.3% in 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a one-time tax
benefit associated with the reduction of deferred tax balances caused by a
decrease in the German tax rate.

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 nine months was $10.8 million in 1999
and $9.6 million in 2000. Net working capital requirements decreased from $31.3
million in 1999 to $29.0 million in 2000. This change reflects a decrease in
accounts receivable balances offset by an increase in inventory

                                       15

balances in the current year period. A decline in Boston piano shipments has led
to a temporary buildup in inventory of this product.

     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 $3.1 million and $6.2 million in the first
nine 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 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.

     On September 14, 2000, the Company entered into an amended and restated
credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") with their existing lender to
accommodate the acquisition of UMI. The Credit Facility, which expires on
September 14, 2008, provided a $45.0 million term loan and increased the
Company's potential borrowing capacity for its domestic seasonal borrowing
requirements from $60.0 million to $120.0 million in revolving credit loans. The
term loan is repayable in monthly installments of $0.4 million for the first
five years and monthly installments of $0.6 million in years six through eight.
The term loan and revolving credit loans bear interest at the average 30-day
Libor rate plus 1.75%. As of September 30, 2000, revolving credit loans
outstanding were $57.0 million and additional availability based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory balances, was approximately $63.0 million.
Open account loans with foreign banks also provide for borrowings by Steinway's
foreign subsidiaries of up to 40 million Deutsche marks ($18.0 million at the
September 30, 2000 exchange rate).

     The Company's long-term financing consists primarily of $110.0 million of
Senior Subordinated Notes and $66.7 million outstanding on term loans. 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 a total of 26,700 shares of its common stock in
2000 at a cost of $0.5 million. No shares were repurchased in the third quarter.

     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.

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", which was amended by SFAS
138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
in 2000. These statements require 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 Company will adopt the amended standard January 1, 2001. Based on
the results of the analysis to date, management does not expect the adoption
of the amended standard to have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.

     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.


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 revolving loans and term loans bear interest at rates that
fluctuate with changes in the Libor rate. Substantially all of the Company's
long-term debt, except the term loans referred to above, is at fixed interest
rates. Accordingly, the Company's interest expense on its revolving loans and
term loans 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.
