Next came the wonderful 1930 restored Steinway grand piano that our technicians rebuilt with genuine Steinway parts. Next, I played the same songs on this Schimmel, which is just over 20 years old and in original condition. This was a great reference point for how a piano should feel and sound. The test began by first playing the new Steinway Model B grand – the piano considered the standard by which all others are judged. Still, it’s difficult for anyone – even a piano store owner – to have the opportunity to try a used Schimmel grand piano side by side with a used Steinway grand piano and a new Steinway grand piano all of comparable size. Having grown up around Schimmel pianos, I am considered a bit of an expert as to how they’re constructed, their durability, and the materials they use in their instruments.
