Schimmel Classic 189T Traditional Grand Piano in Ebony
The medium-sized grand piano of the Schimmel Triology meets the high expectations of pianists in a special way. Rigorous construction ideas come together in this most frequently played grand piano size. The C189 is the equivalent of a working tool, for pianists and teachers. An instrument of this nature shouldn’t be too big, because usually space is limited. But it has to be large enough to offer pianists tonal richness and sonority. The precise transfer of part of the action and large parts of the sound system of our full size concert grand into the C189 therefore makes this model an idea ‘tool’ for demanding pianists and teachers.
In the patented Schimmel Konzert Concept, utilised in the Classic series, the well-established and ideal construction concepts for the large Konzert grand piano K 280, have been consistently integrated into the smaller model and, where possible, with identical construction.
This enables pianists to enjoy the benefits of the outstanding touch and tonal characteristics of a large concert grand even when performing on smaller models. This concept and the Schimmel family of sound is unique worldwide.

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.
