New Schimmel Grand Piano Acquired
We have found and purchased our replacement piano! It’s a Schimmel 6-foot grand, purchased new in 1999 from Chris Finger Pianos in Niwot. This piano was built in Germany with a Bavarianspruce soundboard, excellent Renner piano action, and Abel hammers. The piano belonged to a Jeffco music teacher and musician, and it lived in Rollinsville, CO, its whole life until a couple of months ago when it was moved to Arvada. The instrument is in immaculate condition with tight pins, little wear on the hammers, a perfect soundboard, and an unblemished case (save for one minor scratch on the underside of the lid). The piano action will need to be fully regulated (adjusted), which is expected for an instrument of this age. Unfortunately, Joe Woods won’t be able to complete this work until October, so we will all need to be patient while the piano waits at Joe’s shop!
Thank you to everyone who contributed toward the purchase of our new piano!
