Versatility in a semi-concert grand

A popular placement for the W206 is the recording studio or performance venue conscious of the bottom line & looking for a good return on investment.

Savvy business owners need to look after their classical artists and also cater to jazz musicians, rock & pop and other styles of music. This semi-concert grand piano offers outstanding value as a piano that is not just accepted, but inspiring to perform on, work with and record on.

The W206 has a tonal range unique to its European heritage. It’s versatile and adaptable. A lot of piano brands claim this quality of versatility, but there’s a difference. The Wilhelm W206 is versatile not because it’s bland, but because it has a vast array of tonal colour allowing the artist to play with the sound to get just what they want.

Classic C213 Tradition – Grand Piano

Schimmel Pianos Australia — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 03:34:04 +0000

Our largest Classic grand piano the C213 is based on the design characteristics of our full size Konzert grand piano the K280. Essentially, the ‘sound system’ in the middle and treble section, and the action of our Konzert grand piano K280 was partly transferred into the C213 – and with it, the tonal character and the touch of our largest Konzert grand piano.

This outstanding and innovative idea was consequently transferred into every grand piano, down to our smallest in the Classic series, which is unique in the piano world.

Because of this, a pianist receives a part of our full size concert grand in each of our grand piano models. As we manufacture three grand piano sizes in our Classic series we simply call it ‘the unique Schimmel Trilogy’.

How Schimmel Quality Is Created

The Soundboard is the soul and voice of a piano. In it is concealed the secrets of tone quality and carrying power of a Schimmel grand or upright piano. Schimmel Scale Designs form the basis of extraordinary tone quality. The sound spectrum and timbers are of exemplary richness, enabling the pianist to precisely transform their artistic intentions into sound.

The Backframe Assembly of a Schimmel piano is solidly built and time tested. Together with the heavy cast-iron plate, it bears almost 18 tonnes of string tension. The Schimmel Keyboard and Action Assembly, designed by Schimmel and produced in Germany, features painstakingly optimised leverage ratios and reliability. Its dynamic modulation potential enables the finest nuances in sound.

Discover the perfect balance of sound and artistry

For brilliant chamber music and collaborative music making, all musicians involved should be comfortable and confident in the capabilities of their instrument.

Using a concert grand in a smaller ensemble can give the pianist the responsiveness they want, but can be difficult to control dynamically, especially in a chamber music setting.

You can have the perfect balance of sound and artistry with the Schimmel K 219. A performance piano unrivalled for chamber music and solo work in mid-sized performance spaces. When painting on a smaller canvas or a huge one, a visual artist still wants a complete range of colours to work with. The pianist is no different. Our colour is the tonal palette.

The amazing Schimmel Konzert concept gives every pianist the comfort, confidence and the colour for a thrilling musical experience. Even in the smaller grands, the pianist still has access to the full sized concert grand action for ultimate responsiveness, and the tonal colour is never compromised.
