What may seem like an obsessive attention to detail is actually the foundation of rich tonal landscapes for the piano experts at Schimmel. Each of the 88 hammer-heads in our upright and grand pianos is meticulously pricked with voicing needles by hand, thousands of times, in a painstaking process to achieve versatile tonal coloring.
The voicer uses finely honed manual skills to give the felt its perfect elasticity, ensuring each instrument attains its optimal tone quality. This process requires a rigorously trained ear and an acute sensitivity to the subtlest tonal nuances. Through this meticulous craftsmanship, Schimmel artisans breathe life into the soul of our pianos.
