  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.=20

    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?
