Even with the smallest Classic C 169 grand piano we do not compromise. Partwise the identical action and large parts of the ‘sound system’ from our full size concert grand is here also implemented. Combined with our extreme soundboard expansion in the lateral region, this creates a true giant among the small grand pianos that is effortlessly comparable to the larger grand pianos. This is uniqueness can be heard and felt.

Features
Enlarged soundboard
The dimensions of the soundboard are extraordinarily large in comparison to the length of the instrument: this is due to the extravagant form of our grand pianos in which ideal oscillation zones have space to develop in the soundboard. These zones permit a greater tonal volume and a superior tonal distribution.
The ideal soundboard wood – exclusive to Schimmel
Only spruce grown under specific climatic circumstances in high mountain regions can be used to make a high-quality soundboard. This wood, which is rare and of high value, is exclusively selected and reserved for Schimmel by the Bavarian forestry service.
Full-size concert grand piano scale
Through the use of the same scaling as the full-size concert grand piano K 280 in all Schimmel grand pianos there is always an element of the large instrument’s sound in the smaller Schimmel instruments.
Most played
German pianos have always been renowned for their quality, and Schimmel have sold more than any other maker – because institutions, pianists and music lovers have trusted in Schimmel’s quality for more than 130 years.
Triplex Scale
Through the Triplex Scale the notes in parts of the middle and treble range are produced with the aid of three exactly coordinated areas of a single string, resulting in an increased richness in tone and a longer speaking length of these notes.
Dynamic bar
The dynamic bar divides the soundboard into sound zones to increase sound dynamics, more tonal colour and a longer sustain also when played pianissimo.
Schimmel sound production system
Schimmel soundboards are curved in three dimensions thus creating a dome shape known as a ‘crown’. In addition, the thickness of the soundboard tapers in such a way to promote ideal vibrational properties over a wide spectrum of frequencies and amplitudes. These features enable the production of the characteristic rich palette of tonal colours, extended length of tone and excellent tuning stability of Schimmel pianos.
Most highly awarded
Our grand and upright pianos have participated in international tests since 1988 – and were repeatedly able to bring home top marks. The numerous awards provide proof that the quality of Schimmel instruments is universally acclaimed by experts.
