Wilhelm Schimmel began making pianos in Leipzig in 1885, and his company enjoyed steady growth through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pianos made by: Wilhelm Schimmel Pianofortefabrik GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany (Schimmel), and Kalisz, Poland (Wilhelm Schimmel) and Guangzhou Pearl River Piano Group Ltd., Guangzhou, China (Fridolin Schimmel) This is also where the most frequently played German-made grand and upright pianos are produced, as Schimmel has made the most substantial contribution to pianos made in Germany during more than 125-year-old tradition.Ĭlick here to see all other Schimmels we currently have in stock.Including Wilhelm Schimmel, Fridolin Schimmel, Vogel, May Berlin In the Schimmel workshop in Braunschweig, instruments of excellent quality are manufactured on the basis of consummate ability and passion. The Wilhlem range is manufactured in Europe at a facility owned and managed by Schimmel. Schimmel is proud to be one of the few manufacturers who have received ‘made in Germany’ certifications for their Konzert, Classic and International collections – products that are still being made in Braunschweig, Germany. This certificate allows potential customers the reassurance that they are investing in a piano which truly encapsulates the prestige of a German product. This certificate is then verified every two years to ensure these standards are consistently maintained. There is a strict criteria for manufacturers to meet which then results in ‘made in Germany’ certification. This creates a false impression that these instruments have been produced in Germany, which can be confusing for customers, as in most cases these copycat products originate from outside the country.Īs a result the German piano manufacturers association (BVK) and the German chamber Network of commerce have developed a certificate for manufacturers to use so that customers can easily identify products that are genuinely produced in Germany. Unfortunately, there are some piano brands which misleadingly label themselves with ‘German design’, ‘German Technology’ or have chosen Germanic names. This is because German products, like Schimmel upright and grand pianos, stand for the art of engineering as well as innovation, design, craftsmanship and, of course, reliability – in short, quality that people trust in worldwide. Products made in Germany have an excellent international reputation.
by 1894, Schimmel had produced 1000 pianos. Shortly after the completion of his training as a piano manufacturer, he established his own workshop in Leipzig and produced his first piano at the beginning of 1885. Schimmel Pianos was founded in 1885 by Wilhelm Schimmel.

It has rich and clear tone with deep bass, with the popular Renner action made in Germany which offers the player quickness and full control.
The cabinet is in flawless condition which includes adjustable and hardly used matching bench. The piano has been maintained and serviced regularly it has very little use and looks and plays like new. It has been in the same home in Portland since it was delivered.
