When Wilhelm Arno Schimmel died in 1961, his son Nikolaus Wilhelm Schimmel succeeded him. In 1951, Schimmel presented the world's first transparent plexiglass grand piano and in 1956 a grand piano with built-in radio, turntable and tape recorder. Schimmel became an independent company again in 1931.

In 1927 his son Wilhelm Arno Schimmel took over the company, moved it to Braunschweig and - due to the difficult economic times - merged the company with other piano manufacturers under the name 'Deutsche Pianowerke AG'. Wilhelm Schimmel (1854-1946) founded the famous Schimmel piano factory in Leipzig in 1885 and from 1892 onwards the building of grand pianos was started. The piano is equipped with a 'Bell-Frame' at the back, which gives the piano a beautiful deep, full sound. The piano has a so-called 'grand piano lid' which gives this instrument an extra luxurious look. This young Schimmel piano is performed is beautifully creamy white.
