Why Schimmel Classic?

The C116 is one of Schimmel's best selling pianos and is part of the Schimmel Classic range. Like all pianos bearing the Schimmel name, it is designed and made in Braunschweig, Germany. Internally the C116T combines the precision of a Renner action (designed by Schimmel) with the depth of sound, tonal flexibility and long sustain which have become characteristics of Schimmel pianos. The C116 is ideal for players of all abilities who need a relatively compact instrument, and who are looking for a traditional cabinet design.

Main features:

100% designed and made in Germany by Schimmel - BVK Certified

Schimmel designed action made by Renner

One of Schimmel's best selling pianos

Impressive bass quality, out-performing many taller uprights

The French music periodical 'Le Monde de la Musique' described the 121 as "evidence for the great tradition of piano manufacture in Germany" and stated more generally that "Schimmel pianos are without doubt... more than a mere study instrument".

The 121 has a richness and quality of tone which is very rare for a piano of its price, with a roundness and depth of bass which is superior to many instruments even 10cm taller. It is very much a piano for enjoying playing on and the precise Renner-made action enables the player to really explore the range of dynamics and colour on offer.

Height - 121 cm

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.
