Legacy
Founded in 1876, Musikverlag Zimmermann has been closely connected with the flute world since its earliest years. Originally established as both a music publisher and a musical instrument manufacturer, the company developed a strong reputation among woodwind musicians and became one of the principal publishers of flute repertoire and educational literature.
Zimmermann published influential works by leading flutists and composers, including early editions of Ernesto Köhler‘s celebrated flute methods, which remain widely recognized today.
Now operating from Mainz, Germany, the historic Zimmermann imprint continues to publish and distribute a diverse catalog of classical music, maintaining its longstanding contribution to flute performance and music education.
