Key for Zimmermann

[Gregor _]

Sending the lock seems to complicated to me. Is there a US subsidary of Jahn Pianoparts? Here is the German version of their catalogue:

Look for Item 20.60.00, 20.60.10, 20.60.19 (Yamaha key) and 20.60.20. Order a handful of these keys and you will have every key you need in the future.

Hi,Tony!
I can give you a few suggestions how to find a key for Zimmerman…. I have a pretty good collection of different keys,so,you can send me the lock and I will try to match it with the proper key.. On a few occasions I took out the lock and my client took it to the locksmith and it was done…On one occasion Mr.Lookerson took the whole keyslip to the locksmith ,because the lock was sealed in the cabinet,and I showed him how to re-install the key slip rail back in place,it was no problem….Let me know if any of those scenarios will work for you…Good luck   isaac.

Thanks for the response, Gregor.  I distinctly remember seeing a decal on the inside of the piano saying it was made in the GDR so I believe it is of East German construction.  Any help in obtaining a key would be most appreciated.

I don´t think that it is an East German Piano (German "Democratic" Republic), these beasts were smaller than 115. There was a 115 modell in the beginning 1990 years. I have exactly that one in my store at the moment. I will look up tomorrow for the key when I go to my shop.  I don´t know the US situation, but only 3 different kind of keys fit to 99% of all pianos I tune here in Germany. I guess you can order these keys at any German supplier (Meyne, Jahn, Renner......). I allways have some of these 3 different keys in my toolcase for that requests. Gregor

If so, parts may likely be unavailable. Is it a key with a hollow shaft (i.e. is there a pin in the center of the key hole)?  I can supply hardware for German pianos.Perhaps it is best to contact me off-list.Jurgen GoeringPiano Forte Supply(250) 754-2440info at pianofortesupply.comhttp://www.pianofortesupply.comOn Feb 9, 2008, at 10:32, Tony Bajada wrote:

A customer has a Zimmermann Upright, Model 115.  She is missing the key to the fallboard lock and would like to obtain a replacement in order to lock the piano when relatives with children visit.  Does anyone have a contact number for Zimmermann or any website address where I may order one?  Thanks in advance.
