Classic Concept (Fridolin): This design was originally developed by Arno Wilhelm Schimmel in the 1930s, with the idea of building a new category of pianos. The sound volume of the large-frame constructions should be retained, but the appearance should be much more graceful. The design idea was revolutionary at the time and was patented several times. Thanks to the success of this innovative idea, Schimmel quickly developed into the largest German piano manufacturer. The design was continuously improved and perfected using the computer software CAPE, which was developed in-house in 1980
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 colours 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)
As early as the 1980s, Schimmel worked with computers to improve the design of its instruments, making the company a pioneer in the piano industry. Since then, the use of computers for research and development has been constantly further developed and today, under the name CAPE (Computer Assisted Piano Engineering), it represents a unique and all-encompassing software solution into which decades of development work and research results have contributed. On this basis, new ideas and designs are constantly being created that set standards in the industry
Schimmel offers an extended manufacturer’s warranty through its network of appointed dealers. Because we trust and stand by the quality of our instruments
Environmental protection and sustainability have been part of the company philosophy at Schimmel since the company was founded in 1885. This starts with the quality of our instruments. With a Schimmel instrument, you are purchasing a durable product that will be used for many years, often for generations
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
We use pin blocks made of thin hardwood layers so that the instrument keeps its pitch optimally and is easy to tune. These pin blocks were developed by Schimmel in the 1950s as so-called “tropical climate resistant” pin blocks and have proven themselves over the decades
