---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi,Terry! I'm familiar with Zimmerman Petit Grands.They were made in former communist East Germany and were popular,hard to find in my old country,Ex-Soviet Union.The size was appropriate for very small government apartments,the quality was a lot better that anything produced in Russia,so>>> In the late 1980 they tried to sell their product in USA and a few hundred of those are in people's homes.The cabinets are very attractive ,but technically speaking...Yes,they could use a lot of improvements:the hammers are severely angled,very little space in the bass and low-mid tenor,hammer tails need to be trimmed to provide necessary clearance.Overall,re pinning of hammers and whippens presents problem in a few years...Pay attention to the shifting system,in the nearest future it will need some serious repair,when a problem with "sticky keys" will appear. Been there,done it! If any more questions regarding this topic-feel free to communicate. Best Regards! Isaac. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry To: piano tech@ptg.org Sent: 3/31/05 4:21:43 PM Subject: Zimmerman Grand I tuned a 1980 Zimmerman micro grand today - my first one. Kind of a dead less-than-stellar piano. Is Zimmerman kinda like the Kimball of Germany? Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
