What sounds like a pedantic obsession with detail is the basis of rich tonal worlds for the piano experts at Schimmel: all 88 hammer-heads of each upright and grand piano are pricked with voicing needles several ten thousand times by hand in a painstaking process to form the versatile tonal colouring of our instruments. The voicer utilises his finely tuned manual dexterity to give the felt its elasticity and thereby provide each instrument with an optimum tone quality. This requires a rigorously highly-trained ear and great sensitivity for the finest tonal nuances. This is how the Schimmel craftsmen breathe life into the soul of all Schimmel instruments.

Alongside the Schimmel Classic Series, the company developed the Schimmel Konzert Series over a period of approximately 20 years, thereby consolidating the company’s leading position in the market. In 2003, Nikolaus Wilhelm Schimmel passed on the management of the company to Hannes Schimmel-Vogel.
In adherence to the founding slogan “Quality will prevail”, he completed the product spectrum with additional models in the Konzert Series and the conceptual design of a wide-ranging, extended Schimmel brand family. This courage in innovation and the passion for piano manufacture will also characterise the future development of the family firm – and guarantee the excellent quality of Schimmel grand and upright pianos.
If you aren't sure whether a grand piano will fit, then ask for our grand piano templates to see exactly how it will fit.
