Why Schimmel Konzert? 

The Schimmel Konzert series is split into two trilogies and K230T grand is the first model of the second trilogy of grand pianos. The philosophy behind the Konzert series is that all the ideal concepts of the large 280cm concert grand should be consistently integrated into the smaller models and, where possible, with identical construction. This enables pianists to enjoy the outstanding touch and tonal characteristics of a large concert grand even when performing on smaller models. Perhaps most immediately obvious to the pianist is that the action is taken directly from the full-sized 280cm concert grand. Thus even the smallest K175 model benefits from exactly the same nuanced control available to the concert stage performer!

"Players enthuse about the Schimmel K230's palette of tonal colour, the excellent power reserves, the faultless action, the consistent and smooth playability - but most highlighted is the inspiration that the instrument provokes" Pianist Magazine, April 2012.

Main features

  • Scale design is taken directly from the 280 Concert grand and has full Triplex stringing to enhance sustain in the treble and the richness of sound. 
  • Extraordinary dynamic range is produced by a combination of responsive Renner action custom made for Schimmel by their exacting specifications and a soundboard that incorporates “Dynamic bars”. The detailed clarity of sound, without the harshness that this is often associated with, is a triumph of soundboard design.
  • Schimmel pianos all share an enlarged soundboard design in both the bass and for the treble. This allows for frequencies to sustain longer, giving a bigger, warmer and bell-like quality of sound. 
  • Real ebony wood black key and white mineral keytops to imitate ivory allowing for a more natural and tactile feel
  • Mass reduced bridges to allow more flexibility and resonance within the soundboard
  • Completely designed and made in Germany - BVK Certified

What is TwinTone™?

The silent side of this piano is ideal for families with young children or night owls looking to practice late into the night.

The most common question regarding the silent piano is "is this a digital piano?".

Our range of silent pianos are all completely acoustic instruments; meaning that hammers are still striking strings to produce a sound and therefore have the benefit of playing a real acoustic piano, however, they also have a digital component that simply allows players the option to switch to a digital sound for "silent playing" via headphones.

Schimmels own TwinTone™ silent system, allows for silent piano practise with headphones. With the added flexibility of their innovative TwinTone™ silent system, it is the ideal instrument for busy and demanding musicians wanting to practice without disturbing others.

Schimmel has been working tirelessly to develop their very own Schimmel Silent System which features samples of their own pianos. Their brand new TwinTone™ system has now been released and is available on any of their upright pianos from the Fridolin range up to their top of the range Konzert pianos. The system has been specifically designed so that not only can it be installed in the factory, it is now also available to be retrofit to any Schimmel upright piano!!  We know that all pianos are complete individuals so for an additional £500 on the usual TwinTone™ price, you can have the model you have played and loved in store.
