Schimmel's most popular piano! What makes this piano the best-seller of all Schimmel models? Perhaps because this instrument possesses the ideal combination of reliability, playability, tonal quality and elegance. The model C 116 Tradition, the younger brother of the C 120 Tradition, has made it to the top of the list. This piano has been in Schimmel's range for over a decade, but its popularity remains unbroken. On the contrary: pianists prefer to return again and again to reliable models.

Convincing Clarity. Is it perhaps due to the simple, unembellished and clear lines of the instrument? The piano C 120 International has been in Schimmel's program for numerous years now – and continues to be a great favourite. This is a timeless instrument which will loyally accompany pianists.

Harmony in Form & Performance. What happens when the principle of the “golden section” is transferred to a piano? In art and architecture, the golden section is frequently considered to be the ideal inter-proportion between various lengths and also the epitome of aesthetics and harmony. Viewed from these aspects, the C124T model certainly fulfills all these criteria.

Majestic in tone and design. Taste is the art of an understanding for detail and also of presenting this detail in accomplished fashion. The exceptional personality of the model Royal is characterised by the model’s piano legs with its traditionally carved stylistic elements from solid wood. The majestic appearance of this upright piano transforms music-making into an experience for all senses!

Understated elegance. 'The eye listens too'. This is why the combination of first-class sound and corresponding design is so vital. The unostentatiously elegant C 130 Tradition is one of the great pianos of its type and an instrument of excellence in itself. Touch and tone are harmonised perfectly from the powerful bass notes up to the sparkling treble register.

Modern, noble and timeless. The beauty of timeless design is that it retains its charm down through the years and is still “en vogue” despite all other modern trends. Designed under the aspect of “less is more”, the K 122 Modern Cubus is fashioned without any embellishments and this is precisely the essence of its particular nobility.

On Schimmel's website they state 'Patience is the mother of quality'. We agree, because sometimes 300 years of patience are necessary! That is the age of some of Schimmel's mountain spruce wood which is utilised for the manufacture of the soundboards. This wood is cultivated in high mountainous areas under extreme conditions. Only a small percentage of these trees can be considered for the manufacture of Schimmel's soundboards. Exceptional quality is a vital factor because the soundboard is the heart of the instrument. Vibration properties and stability over time are of utmost importance and ensure the beautiful tone of Schimmel's upright and grand pianos. Schimmel's stringent selection process ensures a first-class tone in all their pianos.
The K132T is the pinnacle of upright pianos. It is the tallest piano in Schimmel's premium Konzert-series providing the ultimate experience in both resonance and tone. It has received accolades from many international magazines. Read just some of the fabulous independent reviews this piano has received in two different French magazines, Diapason and Pianiste.

Stringent selection for a first-class tone. It's the small, fine details that make this Art Nouveau instrument particularly charming. For example the hand-carved, black varnished maple wood Art Nouveau ornaments and the polished brass candle holders. Schimmel was able to repurchase the beautiful original instrument, which incidentally had been awarded a gold medal at a trade exhibition in 1913. Their new edition was modelled on this piano. The surface of the casing is worked and assembled by hand with contrasting walnut striped veneers. In addition to walnut veneer, the top door is also decorated with wood inlays incorporating ebony, Santos palisander and mother-of-pearl. This is not just an attractive piano, but also a fascinating piece of furniture!
