Comments
Zimmermann pianos made prior to 1940 are of good quality and restore very well. Later baby grands and uprights tend to be of lower to medium quality, the common baby grands often having a heavy and uneven action. However as of 1992, they have been taken over by Bechstein, who produce a fine piano with the Zimmermann name.
