Schimmel also believes that precision is aided by controlling as much of the production process as possible.

Schimmel maintains that the combination of CNC machinery and handwork leads to better results than handcraftmanship alone.

The company has used its Computer Assisted Piano Engineering (CAPE) software to research, design, and implement virtually every aspect of making a piano, from keyboard layout and action geometry to soundboard acoustics and scale design. Today, 500 Schimmel concert grands and 2,500 verticals per year are made and the company is one of Europe’s most prolific piano makers.Īmong European piano makers, Schimmel was a pioneer in the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing. Wilhelm Schimmel began making the Schimmel piano in Leipzig in 1885, and while interrupted by two World Wars and the Depression, the company rebuilt with a strong reputation for quality.
