#Schimmel piano parts series

Schimmel received the title of purveyor of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and the purveyor of the King of Romania. Schimmel Pianos soon developed an international reputation as their instruments were exported to Russia, Italy, France, the U.S., Switzerland, and many other countries. Due to the outstanding playability, the highly developed mechanics and the tonal quality the brand Schimmel soon belonged to the circle of renown pianoforte factories in Leipzig, which used to be, besides Berlin the centre of piano manufacturers in Germany. In 1897, Wilhelm Schimmel built his own state-of-the-art factory in Leipzig-Stötteritz on 4000 m 2 large grounds. The company had moved to bigger workshops due to the increasing production.

In May 1894, Wilhelm Schimmel produced his 1000th instrument.

His slogan 'Quality prevails', proved to be right as his business succeeded and his instruments grew popular for their advanced technique, excellent sound and contemporary design. The history of Schimmel Pianos began on as Wilhelm Schimmel founded his own workshop in Leipzig, Germany. History 1st Generation: Foundation and growth
