A One-of-a-Kind Instrument

About Schimmel Pianos

Schimmel is one of Europe's most respected piano manufacturers, known for producing instruments that combine traditional German craftsmanship with innovative design. Founded in 1885, Schimmel has built a reputation for creating pianos with exceptional tonal clarity, responsive touch, and lasting durability.

A 7' grand piano sits in the sweet spot - large enough to produce a full, rich sound with excellent bass response, yet intimate enough for detailed recording work and solo performances. This size is favored by many professional pianists and recording engineers for its balanced tone across all registers.

Recording the Schimmel

Our collection of vintage and modern microphones, combined with our legendary MIDAS console and pristine digital recording chains, allows us to capture the piano's full tonal spectrum with exceptional detail and warmth. Whether you need the vintage character of our Neumann and Telefunken microphones or the pristine clarity of modern condensers, we have the tools to realize your sonic vision.

Special Thanks

This incredible instrument is available at Kensington Sound through the generosity of resident producer Steve Raiman, whose expertise in piano recording and classical music production has made this addition possible. Steve's work with international artists and deep understanding of piano tone makes him the ideal collaborator for piano-focused projects.
