A short time after finishing his training as a piano manufacturer, he created his very own workshop in Leipzig. Schimmel Pianos was founded by Wilhelm Schimmel in 1885, in Germany.

Bass is not directional like high frequencies, so even though the bass bridge is on the bottom right side for upright pianos, the sound could be perceived as omnidirectional. So, maybe is more accurate to say that the bass sound of a grand piano is mainly generated on the back of the piano, rather than the left, particularly a concert grand.

Grand pianos have their bass bridge located rather on the back of the piano, but still is on the left. Of course, a transducer is small, and a bridge is a large piece of wood, but still located on the right bottom side, not left. I have done homemade soundboard (with homemade ribs) tests with transducers before, and I can tell you that, although the transducer can energize the entire soundboard, most of the energy is localized close to the transducer. But when you look at the soundboard of a typical 48' upright piano, let's say a Kawai K800 or Yamaha U3, you see the bridge of the bass strings is located on the bottom RIGHT of the piano, not on the left. Most people will assume that the bass should sound on the left of the piano. Hello Stu, I would like to hear your opinion on the topic of upright piano bass tone-generation location.
