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.
Classic Concept (Wilhelm): This design was basically developed by Arno Wilhelm Schimmel in the 1930th. The idea was to manufacture a new type of piano with an enormous tone volume, but more gracile compared with the common heavy designs at this time. As this idea was revolutionary at this time when he received patents for. The success of these designs lead Schimmel to become the biggest German manufacturer over decades
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)
Traditionally, pianos are equipped with small metal castors. From our experience, these are rarely used. The risk of damaging the floor is quite high. For this reason, we equip our pianos with high-quality gliders that are coated with Delrin from below. This allows for easier gliding on smooth hard floors and reduces the likelihood of damage to floors. In addition, the front gliders can be adjusted in height to compensate for uneven floors. This prevents the instrument from twisting and improves the tuning and the regulation stability
Schimmel offers an extended manufacturer’s warranty through its network of appointed dealers. Because we trust and stand by the quality of our instruments
All the resonance woods that produce the sound we call tone wood. For this we use selected mountain grown spruce from the Bavarian and Bohemian forests, the origin of tone wood of the German instrument makers. For this 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. Even with 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
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
