	Jim and all,

	We piano people north of the border are quite proud of the
Heintzman name. At the peak of their production, Heintzmans were some of
the best pianos being made and this level of quality was sustained for
many years. However, when the pressure came to move to small uprights and
to cut costs, there is a different story.
	Unfortunately, this great piano manufacturer fell as did so many
other producers of fine pianos and I think we are all sad about it.
