Thank you for your business!
Nowadays, the Feurichs are designed in Vienna, manufactured in China by Hailun and are finished in Germany. Hailun Pianos are designed in Vienna and are manufactured from start to finish in China. Both brands use German parts: Roslau strings, Abel hammers and European spruce.
Thank you for your information Matthew much appreciated and very insightful
Never heard of a Feurich made by Schimmel before. They were made in the Euterpe factory in Langlau Germany after the second world war until the early '90s when Bechstein bought out Euterpe. They started on their own again at some point later in the '90s so perhaps the Schimmel Feurichs came inbetween. Would be interesting to know if you find out any more about the piano.
Thank you Hoffmann it is interesting information I appreciate your sharing. I have seen the new ones from china I do believe they aren’t making them currently in Germany? This is a unique piano for me being Schimmel with the feurich name an interesting collaboration
Feurich is the old Wendl & Lung. WL bought Feurich and then changed their name. Most current Feurich pianos are now made by Hailun in China. Your Schimmel Feurich seems to be a one-off partnership before becoming part of WL. Nice piano.
Feurich with a Serial Number 75820 would have been built in 1996. I believe the Langlau factory had closed by then. It would seem that Feurich then contracted out to Schimmel for their larger grands. Schimmel is know for European handcrafted quality. This decision assured for German craftsmanship in their upper echelon models.
I just became the proud owner of a 1983 Feurich F227 crafted in Langlau while the factory was still in operation. It has to be one of the most gorgeous pianos I have ever seen. Pristine like right off the showroom floor. Materials and sound quality are excellent. This was after an exhaustive search for the perfect Steinway B or C. A complete diversion from my forever dedicated Steinway devotion lol. This F227 was love at first sight.
Thank you for the information this Schimmel model is rather special and thank you for the date it makes sense with the information that has been commented thank you for confirming. Now I am curious as to the sound and touch of a Feurich made model.
Schimmel is one of the rare company to uses its own action. That's why you don't have a name of another manufacturer.
Thank you Michel that’s very interesting indeed
Schimmel uses Renner actions and the piano in the video had a Renner action. The Hammers did not have a manufacturers mark on them. Usually manufacturers are using Renner actions with Renner hammers as the actions usually come from Renner with hammers on them.
@@jacobneal5388 Thanks for the clarification. On Schimmel website only the Classic and Konzert series have Schimmel action made by Renner. For the Fridolin and the Wihlem they are Schimmel action, no mention of Renner. My guess is that they have their own spec but uses Renner reputation. There's some magical words in the piano industry: Handcraft, Renner action, solid spruce soundboard, Abel hammer, Roslau string. If you come with something different, it's harder to sell...
@@jacobneal5388 Thanks for the clarification. I don't know how you were able to recognize it from the video. I'm not a technician, more a fan of acoustic piano. By the way, the high hand Schimmel piano (Konzert and Classic series) are using Schimmel Action made by Renner. The Wilhem and Fridolin have Schimmel actions. I guess Schimmel have their own spec and rides on Renner reputation and craftmanship. There are some magical words in the piano industry: German, handcraft, solid spruce soundboard, Renner action, Abel hammer, Roslau string...
@@michelprimeau4531 Renner actions always have a decal in the center of the action. Yes Schimmel has Renner build the action to their specs and the actions are regulated in the Schimmel factory.
Do the longer key levers have any downside, like a heavier touch...? thx
I’m not sure of this question I believe that it won’t if the touch is weighted at the factory if anything it would improve the touch leverage and control
