The Sound of Quality

Designed by C. Bechstein, Zimmermann pianos combine premium materials, refined tone, and reliable craftsmanship — all at an exceptional value.

01.

Craftsmanship &
Materials

Zimmermann pianos are built using premium spruce soundboards, solid-wood ribs (maple, beech), and expertly selected hammers and mechanisms.

02.

Refined Hammer &
Action

Each hammer features a high-grade core (e.g., mahogany) and the action is regulated to fine German standards for expressive touch and consistent performance.

03.

Rich Tonal
Character

With careful voicing and high-quality structural elements, Zimmermann delivers warm, resonant lows, clear mids and sparkling high, balanced for both home and stage.

04.

German Design
Gold Standard

While modern manufacturing takes place under strategic supervision, every Zimmermann instrument is subject to rigorous quality-control, guided by the heritage of C. Bechstein.

Upright Pianos

All Zimmermann pianos delight with a warm, melodious sound and have a compelling response to your playing.

In order to illustrate the full spectrum of sound depth, room sound and sound power, our four piano sizes are arranged following the dynamic of a crescendo – from the small, compact Studio S 2, to the large, resonant Studio S 8.

Zimmermann

Grand Pianos

Owning your own grand piano is an exceptional experience in so many ways. With its iconic, opulently dynamic shape it takes its place and exudes an aura of beauty and elegance. A quality Zimmermann grand piano is a clear statement about what music and the joy of playing means to you. The sound of our grand pianos has a warm charisma that will captivate you and your audience.

All of the grand pianos in our Studio Line are high-quality instruments that also impress price-conscious grand-piano enthusiasts. The exceptional balance and excellent controllability in particular provide you with many creative and interpretive possibilities. All of the grand-piano sizes meet your personal standards: from compact gems to impressive masterpieces of grand-piano construction.

The only thing we are not flexible about is C. Bechstein’s quality standard: that is something we do insist on.

Zimmermann

A Rich Tradition of Piano Construction

When you choose one of our upright or grand pianos you are also purchasing the experience and skill of the people who build our instruments. A quick glance at our rich history provides a sense of how much tradition is behind the Zimmermann brand.

We’d like to point out one thing here for the history books: Zimmermann is a brand backed by an extensive German tradition of piano construction.

Brothers Max and Richard Zimmermann founded their piano manufacturing company, Gebr. Zimmermann, near Leipzig back in 1884.

And they did so with considerable success: Just 20 years later the two brothers had expanded their company to become Europe’s second-biggest pianoforte manufacturer. Instead of resting on their laurels, they opened more production sites, including one in Seifhennersdorf, Saxony – home of
the C. Bechstein manufacturing company today.

Zimmermann

Over 140 years of Success

In 1946, Zimmermann was converted into the VEB Sächsische Pianofortefabrik Seifhennersdorf, and as such was one of the largest European piano manufacturers during the second half of the 20th century. In 1992, it was therefore an honor for C. Bechstein to welcome the proud brand with its rich tradition into the family.

Since then, Zimmermann has been a prominent part of the C. Bechstein family, complementing it with instruments that combine good quality and warm sound with affordability.

In this way, Zimmermann continues to write over 140 successful years of history, and is already looking forward to the next chapter – and to many more people who play themselves happy.
