Zeitter & Winkelmann - and Winkelmann

[wilhorwood]

Hi there.

I am currently researching the Zeitter & Winkelmann piano makers who also used the Winkelmann name on its own sometimes. My interest is because my mother's family founded and owned the company for several generations, so I want to be able to tell the story to my children. I also want to ensure accurate information is out there because there seems to be a lot of poor information regarding this brand.

I am in the process of recording as many existing Z&W instruments as possible so that I can create an accurate guide for dating them, even if the serial number has been lost, because their branding changed quite frequently so I hope to be able to provide a piano dating tool based on branding as well as serial numbers.

If you have any pictures or information about these pianos, please get in touch.

Thanks

Thank you. It contains some information I didn't know, but it also contains some information which I know to be incorrect

I would be very interested to see photos of any Z&W pianos that people own, including inside the pianos. I am compiling a record of the various styles and branding used at different periods of time - please send me pics if you have them
