Comments
Sidney Zender contracted different factories with instructions to make the smallest 85 note piano possible. Some 6 octave pianos were also made. Sidney Zender told me that there were over 70,000 Zender upgright pianos made in the UK, mostly between the 60s to 80s. Most Zender pianos were reasonably made but if you are looking to buy one, it’s recommended that you get a good tuner to assess it first. see our small upright pianos page for alternatives
