Includes Dampp-Chaser Humidity Control System:
Recommended by piano tuners, technicians and major piano manufacturers, a Dampp-Chaser, also known as the Piano Life Saver System, is the best way to provide automatic humidity control of the piano, enhance performance, and protect your investment. The system monitors relative humidity, responding with a dehumidifier when conditions near the piano are too humid, and a humidifier adding moisture when it is too dry. It stabilizes pitch and permits tunings to hold better and longer, prevents damage to piano parts from humidity changes in the environment, thus improving the performance of the inner moving parts of the action, prevents rust on strings and metal parts, and minimizes felt deterioration and glue failure. The system is installed discreetly in the piano and maintenance is very simple.
Includes Piano Disc System 228-CFX ver 4.6. This player system supports CD and floppy media and comes with the remote control, 25 CDs and a stereo system that plays the vocal or orchestral accompaniment included on the CDs. Enjoy hundreds of hours of fabulous music from top artists. This system can be upgraded to the lastest versions that are wifi enabled and app driven on your phone or iPad.
In 1885 the first Schimmel pianos were manufactured in Germany and since then, the family-owned company has flourished. For more than a century the Schimmel Piano Company has retained and held true the slogan of its founder, Wilhelm Schimmel: "Quality will prevail." The four-generation piano manufacturing company held on to the these standards in piano workmanship regarding tone quality and touch - and are now set even a bar or two higher by the present management. Schimmel's pianos have both been entered in international instrument tests since 1988 and have repeatedly received accolades. Concert pianists and journalists from around the world participate in tests, following precisely defined and strict criteria. The numerous awards received by Schimmel during these tests provide proof that the quality of Schimmel instruments is internationally acclaimed by experts. Their instruments have consistently shown to possess the ideal combination of reliability, playability, tonal quality and elegance.
