Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Piano Forum GROTRIAN VS SCHIMMEL

now i know what piano to choose,a grotrian but almost all grotrians here are fake.(booooooooh)

I haven't had the opportunity to play a Grotian, but I dd play several big Schimmel Konzerts and fell in love hard. If I had more money and more room, a Schimmel Konzert would be sitting in my great room now. The treble had such a clear bell-like quality, it was addictive. All the Schimmels were always fully prepped and sensational to play, even the smaller C series. But the Konzerts were amazing. The only piano at PianoWerkes I liked better was the Bosendorfer, with a dramatic increase in price.

So I can't really vote since I've only played one of the two contenders, but Schimmel's at the top of my list, so if Grotian's better, I'll have to try one out someday.

Sorry to say, but I find the whole discussion pointless.
Each of these pianos is a fairly unique specimen.
Minimum required would be to compare at least same sizes. [apples to apples]
Next it depends on one's own playing and preference.
So only "God' can give the answer and I don't see anybody registered here under that name.
Impersonators to the rescue...

But Norbert!

The whole thread is just for the fun of it. It's not an actual evaluation of two different pianos for purchase. It really doesn't need to have a point. Nuthin' more that if you like Schimmel, raise your hand. If you prefer Grotrian, raise you hand.

But it's OK if you want to abstain!

Woops - I woz confused.

But I've now put it right. My hand is dutifully raised. Can I put it down again now?
