This certificate is then verified every two years to ensure these standards are consistently maintained. There is a strict criteria for manufacturers to meet which then results in ‘made in Germany’ certification. This creates a false impression that these instruments have been produced in Germany, which can be confusing for customers, as in most cases these copycat products originate from outside the country.Īs a result the German piano manufacturers association (BVK) and the German chamber Network of commerce have developed a certificate for manufacturers to use so that customers can easily identify products that are genuinely produced in Germany. Unfortunately, there are some piano brands which misleadingly label themselves with ‘German design’, ‘German Technology’ or have chosen Germanic names. This is because German products, like Schimmel upright and grand pianos, stand for the art of engineering as well as innovation, design, craftsmanship and, of course, reliability – in short, quality that people trust in worldwide. Products made in Germany have an excellent international reputation. by 1894, Schimmel had produced 1000 pianos. Shortly after the completion of his training as a piano manufacturer, he established his own workshop in Leipzig and produced his first piano at the beginning of 1885. Schimmel Pianos was founded in 1885 by Wilhelm Schimmel. It has rich and clear tone with deep bass, with the popular Renner action made in Germany which offers the player quickness and full control. The cabinet is in flawless condition which includes adjustable and hardly used matching bench. The piano has been maintained and serviced regularly it has very little use and looks and plays like new. It has been in the same home in Portland since it was delivered.
