Schimmel Pianos
The Schimmel Piano company is one of only a handful of piano makers still being carried on by direct descendants of the original founder, Wilhelm Schimmel. Schimmel built his first piano in 1885, and the name has stood for quality ever since, with a great reputation across the world. To actually sit down and play a Schimmel piano is a wonderful experience.
The company was passed on to the next generation when it was handed over to Wilhelm Arno Schimmel in 1927. He relocated the company and saw it through some difficult years, but managed to leave his mark as a successful and innovative piano manufacturer with his modern designs. From 1961 to present, Nikolaus Wilhelm Schimmel has led the company during its third generation.
Schimmel pianos have won numerous awards at fairs and world expositions. Today, they continue to produce some of the most desired and finest traditional pianos in the world.
