For many people, thirteen is a mystical number. This number certainly provides Schimmel instruments with a magic gloss. This is because we utilize a traditional piano varnish which is applied in thirteen work phases with around one and a half kilogram per square metre and is primarily further processed by hand to produce high gloss. This is how we produce the unique gloss and the special depth effect which are so characteristic for our instruments.

Features
Konzert grand piano action
The large keyboard action assembly of the longest grand piano is integrated into the smaller model series, therefore providing optimum leverage ratios which allow the pianist the best possible control over his or her performance. This means that pianists performing on a variety of Schimmel grand piano models can always enjoy the pleasures of playing on a large-scale grand piano and have no need to adapt their performance technique according to different models.
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 at parts as the full size Konzert 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.
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.
