Instruments with unmistakable character
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 characterized by its fine openwork music stand. The model’s piano legs with its traditionally carved stylistic elements from solid wood provide the design counterpoint to this music stand. The majestic appearance of this grand piano transforms music-making into an experience for all senses!

Unostentatious elegance
What happens when solid piano manufacturing tradition meets unostentatious elegance? This combination produces a wonderful symbiosis permitting a musical experience for all senses. This can be seen, felt and naturally also heard – for example in the Vogel model Tradition.
Success demands courage – and passion. Both these qualities were demonstrated by Wilhelm Schimmel, the founder of our company: 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. His instruments were impressive for their advanced technique, excellent tone and contemporary form. Both he and his slogan “Quality will prevail” were proved right by his success. In 1927, his son Wilhelm Arno Schimmel took over the management of the company and relocated the site to Braunschweig (Brunswick) where he developed
One of the major innovations of the 1930s: a small piano without back posts with a newly designed action and a unique tonal character. The family firm continued to flourish: by the end of the 1950s, Schimmel instruments were the most frequently purchased pianos produced in Germany – and were sent all round the world.
and focused on the continuity of the firm’s expansion in the third generation. Increasing sales volumes necessitated the construction of a new company site in which special areas such as research and development were extended and intensified. Alongside the Schimmel, Classic Series the company developed the Schimmel Konzert over a period of approximately 20 years, thereby consolidating the company’s leading position in the market. In 2003, Nikolaus Wilhelm Schimmel passed on the management of the company to Hannes Schimmel-Vogel.
In adherence to the founding slogan “Quality will prevail”, he completed the product spectrum with additional models in the Konzert Series and the conceptual design of a wide-ranging, extended Schimmel brand family. This courage in innovation and the passion for piano manufacture will also characterise the future development of the family firm – and guarantee the excellent quality of our grand and upright pianos!
