The practice pedal was broken and just dumped inside the piano.

When I tried to close the fallboard it just would not close properly, it seemed as though it was warped ! I remember I once went to look at a used Seiler SE upright ( made in Germany upright) from 2012. The condition of this piano I think just makes it really not worth considering. Wish there has already been improvement of this model, because there're other makes which do greater job at this length (even shorter).The review by the pianist contributor to Piano Buyer is however quite impressive. For the K195 and above, it is a different world. The problem is - we really like the sound of the piano!Īre we asking for trouble here by buying this piano? Or are some of the things listed "normal?" The keyslip gap especially is concerning as we were told it would be very, very difficult to fix.Īny feedback would be appreciated! Thank you.įrom my experience (if not out of date, because it has been 3-4 years since I played Schimmel grands last time), the shortest model of Schimmel Konzert grand (K169 in the past and K175 thereafter) didn't give me what I expected that much. The technician's general impression is that the quality of the build doesn't correspond to the class category that the piano is supposed to be in. The key tops seem to be not well finished. Bridge made out of plywood vs solid wood.ĥ. Some corrosion on the duplex scale as well.Ĥ. "Unusual amount of corrosion" on treble strings. If there is any more warping, the middle keys would be stuck.Ģ. It is warped to the point that the gap in the middle keys is only a very small sliver (5/1000th of an inch) while at either ends, it's 1/16th of an inch.

We had our piano technician do an evaluation and he came back with the following concerns:ġ. Also we read on this forum that generally pianos made by Schimmel considered to be of good quality. We are looking to purchase a grand piano under 6' and really liked a 2004 Schimmel K169T for its rich sound.
