Nieuw model van Schimmel; de C121 Tradition. Bij dit model zijn enkele kleine verandering toegepast zoals een holling in de kam voor een krachtigere bas. Extra bijzonder: ook deze piano is door ons geselecteerd in de fabriek.
Instrument Review: Schimmel C 121
Comments on our new model C 121 from the latest review
of the magazine “Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer“
spring issue 2020
| “. . . it can provide a rewarding musical experience
for the professional musician or teacher while still
looking good in any room of the house.”
| “. . . the first thing that struck me about the C 121
was just how beautiful it looks. The polished ebony
case of the example I saw was very elegant.”
| “The piano seemed solidly built, too, without looking
industrial.”
| “Right away, the C 121’s tone struck me as being
exceptionally well balanced throughout the range
— rich and singing, particularly in the ‘killer’ fifth
octave, so called because of the technical difficulty
in most piano designs of getting the notes of that
octave to sing. In fact, the tone had long sustain and
excellent clarity, and was very subtle and complex
— more refined than that of its nearest competitors
from Japan.”
| “. . . at no point did I find the tone lacking.”
| “The action was comfortable to play, with a medium
touch, neither light nor heavy. It was easy to
produce a full range of dynamics, the piano never
distorting or prematurely reaching its maximum vo
lume when I played fortissimo, and in the pianissimo
dynamic the tone had a beautiful crystalline quality.”
| “The touch of this C 121 had extremely low inertia
(a measure of mass in the keys and action), which
means that it would be possible to play it for a long
time without experiencing fatigue.”
| “The pedaling was very comfortable, and the pedal
action allowed for some really subtle half-pedal
effects, unusual on an upright.”
| “The touch with [ the soft pedal] was still very comfortable.
On some uprights, the touch can feel really
loose with the half-blow pedal engaged; that Schimmel
has overcome this problem is encouraging.”
| “The Schimmel C 121 presents a tonally more interesting
alternative [to the Yamaha U1].”
| “It’s a fine piano with a wide range of applications
in private home use, study, and piano teaching.”
| “Solidly built, it would easily withstand the rigors
of institutional use. The C 121 would be an excellent
choice for churches, theaters, and venues that require
a good instrument but don’t need a grand piano
for solo recitals.”
| “And although the solo repertoire by no means
sounded wanting on this piano, accompanists and
vocal coaches will appreciate its warm, intimate tone,
a sound that lends itself particularly well to lieder.”
