Hello everyone,

I would like to purchase a new high-quality upright piano (in fact, I am selling my old studio piano) and I am leaning towards a Schimmel C120 (with Renner action), although I want to try the new K122 (perhaps too expensive). I have already tried the Boston, which left me with a lot of uncertainty due to a strange non-uniform dynamics between low notes (many harmonics), mid/high notes (few harmonics)!!!

What do you think? Obviously, it is an expense that is made only once......and some (the sellers) advise me against Yamaha and Kawai due to long-term durability.

Thanks for any advice.

George

I haven't received a response yet, but I wanted to add: is it worth spending 5000 euros more (that is the difference between K122 and C120) to have a piano that perhaps has a better sound, compared to having a C120 which anyway has an excellent level?

Thanks for any response....
