Flügel und Klaviere bieten einen großen Reichtum an instrumentalen Qualitäten und sind verlässliche Partner. 
Holz, Filze und Leder begründen die Einzigartigkeit ihrer klanglichen und spieltechnischen Eigenschaften. 
Diese Naturwerkstoff e reagieren auf das klimatische Bedingungsgefüge am Standort des Instrumentes.

Ungeeignet sind Standorte an oder hinter Fenstern, unmittelbar vor oder über Radiatoren oder Konvektoren 
bzw. direkt über, unter oder vor Luftaustrittsöff nungen und an feuchten, kalten Außenwänden. Unmittelbare 
Sonneneinwirkung ist schädlich für Furnierfarbtöne und Oberfl ächen. 

Die Nichtbeachtung dieser Hinweise und Empfehlungen kann umfangreiche Schäden am Instrument zur 
Folge haben und einen erheblichen Wertverlust nach sich ziehen.

Transport

Der Standortwechsel eines Flügels oder Klavieres mit Rollen innerhalb eines Raumes erfordert in der Regel zwei bis 
drei kräftige Personen, um das Instrument zu verschieben. Dabei sind die Rollen durch Anheben des Instrumentes
etwas zu entlasten. Bei empfi ndlichen und glatten Fußböden empfi ehlt es sich, das Instrument auf eine starke 
Textilunterlage zu stellen und dann darauf unter Entlastung der Rollen vorsichtig zu verschieben. So werden 
mögliche Beschädigungen des Fußbodens vermieden. Klaviere ohne Rollen können auf glatten Fußböden in der 
zu vor beschriebenen Weise unter Verwendung von Textilunterlagen verschoben werden, ansonsten sind die Klaviere 
zu tragen. Bei jedem Transport ist sorgsam darauf zu achten, dass das Instrument nicht sein Gleichgewicht ver liert 
und umkippt. Alle Transporte von Stockwerk zu Stockwerk und außer Haus sollten stets Fachfi rmen übertragen 
werden. Standortwechsel des Instrumentes durch Personen mit mangelnder Erfahrung oder Körperkraft können 
erhebliche körperliche Verletzungen oder Beschädigungen am Instrument nach sich ziehen. 

Aus den vorstehenden Empfehlungen können in keinem Fall irgendwelche Ansprüche gegen Schimmel wegen 
etwaiger Beschädigungen des Instrumentes, anderer Sachschäden oder persönlicher Verletzungen samt 
Folgeschäden hergeleitet werden. 

Location

Good acoustic grands and uprights are reliable partners and off er a wealth of instrumental qualities. They 
are built with many natural, organic materials and parts that are aff ected by ambient temperature and humidity.
These natural materials react in various ways to climatic conditions and changes. 

Pianos should not be placed at or near a window, directly in front of a radiator, above a convector, directly 
above, below or in front of an air vent or register, or against a cold, moist outer wall. Exposure to direct 
sunlight is extremely detrimental to the fi nish of the cabinet. 

The non-observance of these recommendations may cause severe damage to the instrument and a 
considerable loss in value.

Transport

Grands and uprights with castors can be relocated within a room by two or three strong people, slightly lifting 
the instrument to take some of the weight off  the casters. Bare fl oors can be protected and the instrument can 
be moved more easily by using small pieces of carpet under the casters, allowing the instrument to be pushed 
while lifting somewhat to take some weight off  the casters. Uprights without casters can be placed on pieces 
of carpeting and pushed along a bare fl oor. Otherwise, the instrument must be carried. Be careful never to tip 
over an upright while moving the instrument. Transporting a grand or upright from one fl oor to another or to a 
diff erent building is a job for professional piano movers. Moving a grand or an upright piano requires suffi  cient 
personal strength and in most cases also experience, otherwise there is the danger of severe personal injury or 
damage to the instrument. 

Please be aware that neither Schimmel, its agents, successors and assigns, nor its authorized dealers, their 
successors and assigns, is, are or shall be in any way responsible for any injury or damage to person or property of 
any kind, direct, indirect or consequential, caused by or resulting from the moving or relocating of any piano.

Emplacement

Les pianos à queue et les pianos droits de qualité sont des créations exceptionnelles. Le bois, le feutre et 
le cuir sont des matières naturelles et expriment le caractère unique de leurs qualités sonores et de jeu. 
Ces matériaux réagissent aux conditions atmosphériques qui règnent sur le lieu réservé au piano. 

Ne placez pas le piano à côté ou devant une fenêtre, directement devant ou au-dessus de radiateurs ou de 
convecteurs, ou directement au-dessus, au-dessous ou devant des aérateurs ainsi qu’à proximité de murs 
extérieurs humides ou froids. L’exposition directe à la lumière du soleil est préjudiciable aux teintes des 
placages et aux vernis de surface. 

La non-observation de ces recommandations ou avis peut provoquer des dommages importants à

l’instrument et entraîner une perte importante de sa valeur.

Pour déplacer l’instrument dans une pièce ou sur un même niveau, deux ou trois personnes fortes suffi  sent en 
général. Il est indispensable de soulager les roulettes en soulevant un peu le piano. Sur les sols fragiles et glissants, 
il est recommandé de mettre l’instrument sur un support textile épais, afi n de pouvoir le faire glisser en évitant 
d’endommager le revêtement de sol. Les pianos droits sans roulettes peuvent être déplacés de la même manière. 
Si ce n’est pas possible, le piano doit être soulevé pour être transporté. En transportant l’instrument, il faut veiller 
à ce qu’il ne perde pas son équilibre et bascule. Adressez-vous toujours à des entreprises spécialisées pour toutes 
les autres formes de transport, en dehors de l’appartement, dans des escaliers et hors de l’habitation. 
Des transports eff ectués par des personnes manquant d’expérience ou ne disposant pas de la force physique 
requise peuvent provoquer des dégradations importantes de l’instrument ou entraîner des blessures physiques.

Les recommandations cidessus ne peuvent, en aucun cas, être source de réclamations envers Schimmel, qu’elles 
aient pour origine des modifi cations de l’emplacement de l’instrument ou des transports et qu’elles aient 
eu pour conséquence directe ou indirecte des blessures corporelles ainsi que leurs suites dommageables 
en résultat ou des  dommages à l’instrument ou d’autres dommages matériels.
