The Most Played Schimmel Upright Piano – Big Sound in a Small Footprint

The Schimmel Classic C 116 Tradition is the most popular model in the entire Classic series – and for good reason. It is aimed at everyone who wants a warm, full piano sound without sacrificing much space: ideal for living rooms, practice rooms and music schools. With its small-upright construction, which Schimmel patented back in the 1930s, this model combines traditional craftsmanship from Braunschweig with a remarkably large tonal volume.

Small-Upright Construction with a Dynamic Tone Bar

The dynamic tone bar in the soundboard regulates the flow of energy depending on the strength of the touch and thus provides a wide palette of voices – from a delicate pianissimo to a powerful forte. The soundboard itself is made of mountain spruce and is tensioned three-dimensionally, which gives it a particularly long vibration time and great tonal depth.

German Craftsmanship Down to the Last Detail

The action comes from Renner in Germany and is considered one of the most precise in the world. The hammer heads of highly elastic merino felt with hardwood cores provide sensitive touch dynamics, while the strings with Schimmel's patented Duratec coating create a clear sound rich in overtones. The multi-layer pin block keeps the tuning stable even in changing room climates.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Big sound, small footprint: the small-upright construction delivers a full piano sound in a compact space.
• Sensitive dynamics: the dynamic tone bar extends the voices from pianissimo to forte.
• Precise Renner action: German engineering for a clean, reliable playing feel.
• Climate-stable: the multi-layer pin block keeps the tuning stable even with fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
• Made in Germany: built in Braunschweig – Schimmel craftsmanship for generations.
