Schimmel Classic series upright pianos

Schimmel has a great deal of know-how and a long tradition in manufacturing upright pianos. The Classic series instruments are available in 116, 120 and 124cm models. The new 120 and 124 models benefit greatly from the lessons learnt during the lengthy development of the exceptional Konzert series of upright pianos.  The 116 model demonstrates the best of the traditional Schimmel designs exemplified by its large rich sound which puts many, much larger, instruments of other makes to shame.
