Schimmel is a German piano manufacturer founded by Wilhelm Schimmel in Leipzig in 1885 and now headquartered in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. The company built its early reputation on upright and grand pianos exported across Europe and to the United States, and remained family-run for several generations under the Schimmel name. Its modern Braunschweig factory, completed in 1980, has been the primary production site for the brand's German-built instruments.

The lineup is organized into a tier of grand and upright piano series, including the flagship Konzert series of concert grands, the Classic series of premium grands and uprights, the Wilhelm Schimmel series built in Europe, and the more accessible Fridolin Schimmel line. Schimmel also produces custom and designer instruments under banners such as the Pegasus, Glas, and other Art Collection pieces, along with the twin tone silent-play system that adapts an acoustic piano for headphone use.

Schimmel pianos are known for a relatively bright, clear European voicing and are commonly used in conservatories, concert venues, and home settings rather than tied to a particular signature artist. The brand has received industry recognition including multiple MMR (Musical Merchandise Review) Acoustic Piano Line of the Year awards, and remains one of the better-known German piano makers alongside Steinway, Bechstein, Bösendorfer, and Blüthner.

Schimmel has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Upright Pianos and Grand Pianos. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Pop and Jazz. Notable users include Dave Brubeck.
