Schimmel – Where the integrity of modern design and classical craftsmanship cross paths’ Lenny Kravitz

Ray Charles

‘We play Boogie Woogie from Himmel (Heaven), only on Schimmel…’

‘Schimmel, these are Instruments with Personality.’

Schimmel instruments demonstrate Erdverwachsenheit – ‘A closeness to the earth, stemming from Braunschweig-Niedersachsen, that aptly manifests itself through exquisite workmanship.’

My Schimmel, a Flügel that lets me take flight! Thank you in Friendship, Congratulations! (Flügel has a double meaning. Its literal translation is ‘wing’ but it also refers to a grand piano)
