Upon purchasing a piano we will discuss a date and time for our professional piano movers to deliver your piano in-home.
At Hachenberg Pianos, we offer a full 5-year parts and labor warranty on all acoustic pianos. Additionally, we provide a 5-year trade-back guarantee on all acoustic pianos—offering 100% of your purchase price toward any new or used piano of equal or greater value. For digital pianos, we offer a 1-year trade-back guarantee under the same terms.
Trilogy Concept (Classic):
Introduced by Schimmel in 2000, the Trilogy Concept brings the feel and sound of their world-class concert grand—the K 280—into their more compact Classic grand pianos. These models share the same action as the K 280, offering a professional-level playing experience. Schimmel also incorporates the longer keys from their C 213 for a more responsive touch. While the materials and details are carefully simplified from their top-tier Konzert line, the essential features and musical quality remain.
Our hammer heads are made from highly elastic merino felt with high flexibility and low damping properties. The felt is made from the highest quality merino wool in a traditional fulling process in Germany. For the hammer cores, we use hardwoods in combination with tension-regulating under felts. The result is a great richness of tone colors in the different dynamic levels, as well as long-lasting tones due to low damping effect on the strings (short contact period due to highly elastic felt)
Due to the different physical conditions, grand pianos usually play better than upright pianos. However, by optimizing the lever ratios in the concert mechanism, it has been possible to achieve a significant improvement in touch. For example, the mechanism is now designed so that the repetition is just as high as on an average grand piano
“Mineral key tops” are used for flat keys on all Schimmel instruments. These were developed by Schimmel and offer a more sensitive touch for pianists. In addition to this secure and sensitive touch, they are “glare-free” thanks to the matt surface, which s particularly advantageous for the pianist, especially on stages with spotlights
We use the term tonewood to describe all the resonance woods that produce the sound. For this we use selected mountain grown spruce from the Bavarian and Bohemian forests, the origin of tonewood of the German instrument makers. For this purpose, we only select perfect wood, grown slowly at high altitudes, so that soundboards can be joined that have optimal resonance characteristics. The trees are pre-selected in the forests and then specially cut and dried over long periods of time. Despite this intensive pre-selection, only about 2% of the timber obtained in this way is suitable for our soundboard production
The “dynamic sound bar” is braced with the soundboard during the soundboard manufacturing process. This regulates the energy flow in the soundboard at different volumes, allowing a wider range of timbres depending on the touch and volume. This is what we call high tonal dynamics
The string layout, the so-called scale, of a large concert grand offers optimal physical properties for an impressive grand piano sound. For all Schimmel grand pianos as well as all Konzert and the large Classic upright pianos C 126 and C 130, we have therefore transferred the middle register and the treble (tone 44 to 88) scale into all mentioned models identically from our large concert grand K 280. In this way, we achieve the same sound characteristics compared with a large grand piano
