Piano Spotlight Schimmel C213 Concert Series Grand

Some Pianos Ask to Be Played. Others Ask to Be Understood.

Not every exceptional piano reveals itself in the first few moments.

Some immediately impress with power and brilliance.

Others quietly invite accomplished musicians to spend time listening, exploring, and discovering the personality hidden within the instrument.

This Schimmel C213 Concert Series Grand belongs to the second group.

Built in Germany in 1978, this beautifully crafted 6'9" grand represents the thoughtful engineering and musical refinement that have made Schimmel one of Europe's most respected piano manufacturers. It is an instrument that rewards careful listening and thoughtful playing.

A European Voice

Every piano manufacturer develops a musical personality.

The Schimmel C213 is known for its clarity rather than excess, its singing voice rather than overwhelming power.

Its bell-like treble offers remarkable transparency. The middle register sings with warmth and color. The bass remains focused and articulate, providing a musical foundation that supports rather than dominates.

This balance allows performers to shape musical phrases with confidence while preserving the natural character of the music.

From Sam's Bench

One of the first things that impressed us about this Schimmel was its responsiveness.

Its Renner action provides exceptional control across the keyboard, allowing subtle changes in touch to translate naturally into sound.

During our preparation process, Sam Scott carefully evaluated the instrument's touch, regulation, and tonal character.

Like every fine piano that enters our showroom, preparation is not simply about making the piano ready for sale. It is about helping the instrument perform at the level its craftsmanship deserves.

Even after an exceptional piano arrives, careful technicians continue listening, refining, and making thoughtful adjustments so that every future owner experiences the instrument at its best.

Appreciated by Experienced Pianists

One of the rewarding aspects of owning exceptional instruments is hearing how experienced pianists respond to them.

Advanced players often spend more time listening than speaking. They explore tone, touch, balance, and musical personality before forming an opinion.

Those conversations continually deepen our own understanding of the instruments we represent and remind us that every remarkable piano has something new to teach us.

That spirit of listening, learning, and continual refinement is part of what makes our showroom such a rewarding place to explore fine pianos.

Why We Selected This Piano

At Washington Pianos, we do not choose instruments simply because of their name or pedigree.

We look for pianos that invite musicians to stay a little longer.

Pianos that encourage exploration.

Pianos that continue revealing new musical possibilities each time someone sits down to play.

This Schimmel earned its place in our showroom because it does exactly that.
