It came from a state-of-the-art recording studio in Woodland Hills, CA.

Zimmermann pianos are one of the most celebrated pianos on the musical instrument market. Despite the fact that the company was purchased from its original founders and manufacturers, the brand still carries the legacy of fine craftsmanship and beautiful musical qualities that have made the company famous from the beginning.

Max and Richard Zimmermann worked for Steinway and Sons in New York City in the United States before they began to manufacture their first pianos in 1884 in the town of Leipzig, Germany. They enjoyed a steady increase of business during the following years, and in 1904 they opened their second factory as part of their business' expansion.

By 1912, the company had become one of Europe’s largest piano manufacturing companies, as 10,000 units were being produced annually. Later, they became a world-wide piano exporter with over 400,000 instruments sold all over the globe.

This Zimmermann upright piano with the serial number 356398 was manufactured between 1981 and 1990.

When we purchased this piano in 1985, we paid $4,800 for it and used it with great care in our pro-recording studio.
