Hello Elian,
=20
Heintzman piano is made by Beijing Heintzman Piano Co.LTD. It is a =
smaller piano factory,but the piano is one of the best in China.China =
has four large piano factories and many smaller factories.
Heintzman Piano Co. makes both upright and grand pianos.It was =
established about ten years ago.The general manger and nearly all the =
skilled workers came from Beijing Hsinghai Piano Factory,one of the four =
largest piano factories in China.So,even if it has a very short =
history,it can make the better pianos in China.
The action of upright piano is made in China.The soundboard is =
unusual(you can see it clearly from the back)and it is made by another =
piano factory in the northeast of China.
The customer told you the piano costs $2000.00 .  yes,most Chinese =
pianos cost $1000 to $2000.In China,It is estimated that there are more =
than one million(1,000,000) children are learning piano playing,few of =
the Chinese family can afford to buy a Basendofer or a Hamburg =
Steinway,as you know,China is a developing country.=20
Most of the China--making pianos need regulation.I think there are two =
reasons for this,one is because the shape--change of wood.
Another reason is probably because the workers are not skilled =
enough.China has a 5,000 years of civilization history,but she has less =
than 50 years of piano making history!=20

Thank you for your interesting in Chinese piano.

    Hello List.

    I wonder if anyone knows a piano Heintzman, it is made in Beijing, =
China by Heintzman Piano Beijing.=20
    My first appointment today was at a client who brought one from =
China.=20
    It surprised me=20
    =20
    The one I serviced today was an upright piano. Beautiful hand =
finished, Very nice touch. Very nice tone. Nice bass high resemblance to =
a german piano, good tonal stability, at least it seems in the first =
tuning.=20
    It arrived in its box straight from the factory. 100cts flat. I had =
it pulled up to pitch with two rough tunings and a third tuning to =
finish. It held pretty nicely. Could not find the action manufacturer. =
It looked like an ordinary chinese action, it needed a lot of =
adjustments and corrections, I have to come back again to finish them =
and also to re-tune. It reminded me of Horugel actions, misaligned =
jacks, misaligned hammers,  lots of small defects, center pins ok, =
tuning pins ok.
    =20
    For a chinese piano, the first impression is good, now in the long =
run I don=A1=E4t know, Customer says he paid $ 2000.00 for it !!!
