Schimmel maintains that the combination of CNC machinery and handwork leads to better results than handcraftsmanship alone. The company has used its Computer Assisted Piano Engineering (CAPE) software to research, design, and implement virtually every aspect of making a piano, from keyboard layout and action geometry to soundboard acoustics and scale design. Today, Schimmel makes 2,500 verticals and 500 grands per year and is one of Europe’s most prolific piano makers.Īmong European piano makers, Schimmel was a pioneer in the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing. Wilhelm Schimmel began making pianos in Leipzig in 1885, and while interrupted by two World Wars and the Depression, the company rebuilt with a strong reputation for quality.
