Schimmel acquired the PianoEurope factory in 2002 in Poland, a piano restoration and manufacturing facility. These last two lines represent new production concepts and will serve as replacements for the older Classic instruments and the Vogel brand. Other lines just released to dealers include Schimmel International (built in Germany, with parts sourced internationally) and Wilhelm Schimmel (to be assembled in the company’s factory in Kalisz, Poland). Schimmel will continue to produce the previous Konzert grand models entirely in Germany, under the Classic name. Notable changes include the use of the model 280’s concert-grand action in all Konzert grand sizes, requiring a redesign of each model selection of improved soundboard and bridge materials and more time spent voicing the instruments at the factory.
#SCHIMMEL PIANO FINISHES SERIES#
In 2013, Schimmel announced a major change to its model lineup: An updated, more upscale Konzert series of grand pianos. The largest grands have reinforced keys for optimal energy transmission. In all Konzert grand models, the case sides are angled slightly to obtain a larger soundboard, and all have tunable front and rear duplex (“triplex”) scales for greater tonal color, real ebony sharps, and mineral white keytops to mimic the feel of ivory, among other advanced features. This series represents time-tested models that are solid, traditional, high-quality instruments, but without all the latest refinements. The Classic series consists of the rest of the verticals, the 6′ model 182 grand, and the 6′ 10″ model 208 grand. The purpose of the Konzert series is to expand the Schimmel line upward to a higher level of quality than previously attained. For that reason, Schimmel produces its own piano-cabinet components and its own keyboards, which it also supplies to other German piano makers.įor a number of years, Schimmel has organized its model lineup into two principal categories: Schimmel Konzert (K-models names) and Schimmel Classic (C-model names). Schimmel also believes that precision is aided by controlling as much of the production process as possible. Schimmel maintains that the combination of CNC machinery and handwork leads to better results than handcraftsmanship alone.
#SCHIMMEL PIANO FINISHES SOFTWARE#
The company has used its Computer Assisted Piano Engineering (CAPE) software to research, design, and implement virtually every aspect of making a piano, from keyboard layout and action geometry to soundboard acoustics and scale design. Today, Schimmel makes 2,500 verticals and 500 grands per year and is one of Europe’s most prolific piano makers.Īmong European piano makers, Schimmel was a pioneer in the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing. Wilhelm Schimmel began making pianos in Leipzig in 1885, and while interrupted by two World Wars and the Depression, the company rebuilt with a strong reputation for quality.

Located in Clifton Park, NY (just north of Albany, about 150 miles from NYC). A spectacular high-end upright piano for less than half the street price for a brand new Schimmel of the same size and model. It has been housed for the past 8 years at my in-laws home, where it only gets played 1-2 weeks per year (which is why I’ve put it up for sale). This is a low-use 2nd piano for a professional classical pianist, tuner, and piano review editor for the leading piano industry publication in America, selected after a multi-city search of at least a dozen instruments. Inspection prior to sale by a qualified piano technician is welcomed, and additional photos of the bridges, strings, soundboard available upon request. Practice pedal works well for late-night sessions or apartment dwellers. Includes a padded adjustable bench, professionally installed humidity control system, and other extras.Įxcellent condition mechanically and cosmetically with a distinct European sound-excellent clarity, power, and sustain from top to bottom-that outperforms grand pianos, twice the price. Freshly tuned, cleaned internally, regulation and voicing just touched up and optimized.
