#Schimmel #K219 #GrandPiano

Welcome to Merriam Pianos on YouTube. Today, we’re looking at an absolute beast of a 7 foot grand piano as we check out the Schimmel Konzert K219.

Schimmel’s Konzert series pianos are new to the market in the last few years, and represent a higher level of quality than anything Schimmel has put out in the past. As a result, this has to be one of the top 7 foot pianos around.

Overview

Getting behind a great piano is inevitably going to pull your ear in new directions and inspires you to express yourself in different ways. A sign of a great instrument is that it’s more than just a tool, but an actual musical partner.

This Schimmel K219 fits the above criteria. It’s capable of producing gorgeous, blended texture, and it truly inspires you to play in ways you never have before. Let’s get into sound.

Piano Sound

The first word that comes to mind when playing the K219 is orchestral - it feels like you have an entire orchestra at your fingertips.

It’s actually quite fascinating how different fine German grands are from one another when you really start exploring. The K219 sounds very distinct from a similarly sized C. Bechstein, Hamburg Steinway, Seiler, or Steingraeber for example.

It also sounds very different from the Schimmel Classic C213, and part of this is design-related. The K219 has thicker rims, a wide tail, higher quality soundboard, and a more sophisticated bridge design.

The soundboard size is also approaching some 9-foot pianos here, and the result is a bass register that actually sounds like a 9-foot concert grand.

In terms of rim activation, Schimmel pretty much does it better than anyone. There’s so much engineering that goes into activating the rim and getting the piano resonating, that’s it to the point that the cabinet gets firing even at low volume outputs.

Schimmel also incorporates their own unique Triplex Scaling at the front of the piano, and this results in a ton of harmonic colour.

The bridges are also horizontally laminated which is a unique design choice (most high-end pianos use vertically laminated bridges) so this likely is a big factor in the K219’s unique tone as well.

The tone is ultimately incredibly blended and bursting with shimmer. It lacks the colour of the C. Bechstein B212 7 footer, but it’s a more blended tone.

The bass is less brassy than some smaller Schimmel models, but it’s wonderfully resonant. The break is well-executed, and while you can hear a small shift when the bass string material changes, the transition is still smooth.

The mid-range is very warm, and the treble is super thick with tons of power.

Piano Action

All of the Schimmel Konzert series grands, regardless of size, feature a full concert grand-sized action. This means in the case of the 7 foot K219, you actually get the keystick length of a 9 foot grand, and all of the extra control that entails.

Schimmel uses a unique mineral texture on the keys, and the glide on the key tops is definitely different.

The action itself is supplied by Renner, and it comes regulated perfectly right out of the box.

There’s not much more to say other than that this is a killer action.

Closing Thoughts

What really stands out about the K219 is its overall value. It’s certainly a pricy instrument, but not nearly as expensive as tier 1 grands like a C. Bechstein, Bosendorfer, or Fazioli, yet it can hold its own against a tier 1 grand no problem.

The build quality and musical potential is there without a doubt.

If your musical preferences align with the K219, you’re very much in luck, since it is offering a very unique musical experience.

It plays much bigger than it actually is, and is an all-around musical triumph.

Thanks for watching!
