Zimmerman Grands

[Kenneth W. Burton]

	Avery,

	Zimmerman pianos are made in what used to be East Germany. A local
tuner/dealer used to bring them in but they became increasingly expensive
and hard to move. I tuned a few of them. The uprights were nothing special
but some of the grands were very good.
