Schimmel’s new entry level piano - the Fridolin - made by their Asian manufacturing partner. It is designed in the German factory and shares the family of sound associated with all Schimmel pianos. Black polyester with chrome fittings.
This is how the Pianist Magazine “Piano Buyers Guide” described this piano:
“Fridolin is the new range of affordable upright pianos from the highly regarded German piano company Schimmel.
Named after the brother of founder Wilhelm Schimmel, these instruments are completely designed by Schimmel in Germany and made by their strategic partner, Pearl River, in China. Every instrument is fully checked and prepared by the factory in Braunschweig to ensure their excellent quality before being despatched to the dealer.
The result is a piano that is not only great value for money, but clearly belongs to the Schimmel family of sound and touch. The action is accurate and responsive, and the sound is big, rich and full; in true Schimmel style it belies the instrument’s physical size.”
