It was easy to delineate treble from accompaniment lines, soprano lines singing easily over left-hand arpeggios. The shocking transition between pianissimo and fortissimo in the opening of Chopin’s Scherzo No.2 in B-flat Minor was easily handled by the W180, and at no point did I feel that it reached its maximum volume prematurely-a problem with many midpriced pianos. Powerful enough to be used in small concert venues, it would also be an excellent choice for home use and in music studios. The sustain was excellent, as was the balance of treble and bass. The Wilhelm Schimmel W180 had a typically high-quality Schimmel tone, rich and clear.

(A better point of comparison would have been the Classic series, which comes between the Wilhelm Schimmel and Konzert series in cost and quality, but those models were not available to me.) Although the differences in cost make this comparison not entirely fair, those who wonder whether the less-expensive Wilhelm Schimmel models might suffice for their needs should find it valuable. There I was also able to compare it to two similarly sized models from Schimmel’s Konzert series, developed to compete with the world’s finest instruments and costing twice as much as the Wilhelm Schimmels: the K175 (5′ 9″, $70,496 SMP) and the K195 (6′ 4″, $76,646 SMP). Recently, I auditioned the Wilhelm Schimmel model W180 ($34,130 SMP in polished ebony), a grand approximately 6′ long, at the trade show of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). Though designed by Schimmel, the Wilhelm Schimmels don’t have all the refinements and advanced features of the German Schimmel lines. Schimmel says that while the skill level of its Polish employees is high, the lower wages and other lower costs available in Poland result in a piano approximately 30% less costly than comparable German Schimmel models.

The focus on quality and technical genius are talents that both brothers Wilhelm and Fridolin Schimmel enjoyed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
