Grand Pianos

The Schimmel acrylic grand: The star on every podium. The transparency reveals the high quality of its materials and workmanship on all facets. A perfect symbiosis of the keyboard-and-action assembly and the sound-producing portion represent the haute école of the art and craft of piano manufacturing. The cast-iron plate, soundboard and the visible wooden components shimmer in a subdued white, supporting the optical lightness of the transparent cabinetry.

Pegasus – at first it was just a daring flight of fantasy on the part of the eccentric German designer Prof. Luigi Colani and the German piano manufacturer Nikolaus W. Schimmel, who inherited a pioneer spirit from his grandfather and father. It was their vision to free the grand piano, the most expressive of traditional acoustic musical instruments, from its form, which had hardly changed in the past 150 years, as well as to impart to the upright piano a future-oriented design. Sound and form, form and sound were to permeate these new extraordinary instruments, and the pianist was to be an integral part of them.
