I recorded it straight onto my phone I was just trying to show a difference I’m a piano technician not a sound engineer 😅

@@2468tom2468 oh cool. I'm trying to sell a really top condition zimmerman upright. Its never been used basically just stored and that can be proven. As a piano technician do you know the pricing roughly of a piano and/or how can I sell it? This piano is in superb condition it's like brand new although its been made roughly 50 years ago, but I can't sell it where I live no one wants acoustic piano 😭 possibly might need to sell it outside of my country (Bulgaria). Do you have any suggestions?

@@radoslavdragnev8797 unfortunately I see a lot of Zimmermanns here for sale but they often go for free even ones in good condition. The problem with those they were made in east Germany when it was occupied by Russia. They are prone to Keytops coming unglued, they have actions that can seize up and will need re-pinning. Honestly a piano that’s not been played for so long and sat in storage is a bad thing, like anything mechanical it needs to be used every now and then to keep the parts from sticking/seizing up. Modern Zimmermans are much better and owned by C.Bechstein, so their reputation has improved since. I don’t know any dealerships here that are buying older Zimmermanns but you might be able to post it as a private sale at best £100-£300.
