Schimmel Artist Collection: Australia's renowned Team of Pianists presenting
the new Schimmel Concert Grand Piano K 256.

principal partner-members; Max Cooke OAM, Darryl Coote, Robert Chamberlain
and Rohan Murray. As Artists-in-Residence at Glenfern Estate in East St.
Kilda, they conduct regular concerts including the summer Rigg Bequest
series Classic Music in Historic Venues during the summer, and the popular

The new Schimmel K 256 Concert Grand Piano was shipped to Melbourne in
August 2005, where it was unboxed and assembled in the warehouse of Bernies
Music Land in Ringwood. This allowed the Team partners to rehearse and
become familiar with the instrument's touch and character prior to recording
in the studio. Agents for Schimmel pianos is Bernies Music Land, Ringwood,

possible. Following delivery to the studios of Move Records in Eaglemont,

Chopin, Debussy, Schumann, Gottschalk and Vine, which sit alongside the
