Handel Pianos

The Fridolin Schimmel F156T is part of the the brand new and extremely impressive “Fridolin” range by the well known and highly respected Schimmel piano company. In a similar vein to Steinway’s “Essex” line and Bechstein’s “Zimmermann” range, the instrument is designed in Germany and assembled in China by the Pearl River piano factory before being finished off back in the Schimmel factory in Braunschweig, Germany.

This allows for a highly affordable new piano to be produced that still has the excellent design, high quality components and the familiar sound of a Schimmel piano.

As opposed to many other manufacturers, who at this price level choose to go for a more bright and strident tone, the Fridolin Schimmel F156 has a distinctly soft and silky sound, which is much more akin to that of an older style European piano, whilst still managing to retain all the power and fluid playability from the action of a modern twenty first century instrument. This all adds up to make the Fridolin F156 a very impressive instrument indeed for the price.

Although these pianos are assembled in China, what really sets them apart from other Chinese built instruments, is both the components used, such as the the excellent, non-laminated soundboard and German strings, and, perhaps most importably, the fact that every single Fridolin Schimmel piano is hand finished, tuned, toned and regulated in Schimmel’s factory in Braunschweig, Germany.

Highly recommended for a more European sound in relation to the entry grands by Yamaha and Kawai.
