That's the age of some of the mountain spruce used in our soundboards. This wood is grown in high mountain areas under the most difficult conditions. Only a tiny percentage of the wood produced, exclusively resonance wood, can be considered for the manufacture of Schimmel soundboards. The highest quality is an essential factor, as soundboards are the heart of their instruments; their vibratory properties and stability are of decisive importance for the beautiful sound of their upright and grand pianos. Only their rigorous selection process can guarantee the tonal richness, extremely long speech length of the notes and excellent durability of Schimmel instruments.http://pianovertu.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Schimmel-konzert-series-film.mov	The C.

Perhaps because this instrument has the ideal combination of reliability, playability, tonal quality and elegance. The C 116 Tradition, the little brother of the C 120 Tradition, has risen to the top of the list. The piano has been part of Schimmel's program for over a decade, and its popularity remains intact.	It's music to our ears when the French music periodical Le Monde de la Musique describes the model series as ``evidence of the great tradition of piano making in Germany'', and further: Schimmel pianos are undoubtedly ... more than just a study instrument ... A direct success among tested instruments ... [It] stands out for its fine richness in tonal quality and harmonic structure. This is an instrument that has been thought through down to the last detail...".
