Schimmel K122 Elegance Traditional Upright

The creativity with which the specialist journalists of musical periodicals describe our grand and upright pianos in the instrument tests in France is a pleasure in its own right. The periodical Le Monde de la Musique* describes the piano K 122 Elegance as follows: ‘The excellent action with its well-adjusted and not over-heavy after touch point immediately generates a seldom experienced degree of confidence. The most favorable aspect is however undoubtedly the very fine structure of the tonal balance which comes into its own through the outstanding controllable dynamic level and which transforms the piano into an equally refined and precise but also roundtoned and singing instrument. It is rare for so many qualities to be concentrated in one piano.

Features

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.

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.

Key tops made of mineral material and ebony wood
The keys offer an improved sensation of touch and are less slippery than other modern keys due to the refinement of the key top material (similar to ivory) (keyvory TM).

Most played German piano
Most quality pianos out of German production are made by Schimmel – because institutions, pianists and music lovers trust in Schimmel’s quality for more than 130 years.

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.

Mass reduced bridge
Schimmel Konzert bridges possess a dynamic groove which makes these bridges lighter and the soundboard more flexible. This produces superior tonal dynamics and longer sustained notes.

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 sound- board 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.
