As I told you.=20 =20 I was surprised of the quality of the instrument, and how it reacted = to our climate, sound is surprisingly good and most of all the feeling = when tuning the piano, tuning pins are firm and have a good grip, The = only weak point I see in it is the action. Have you had any experience = with it on a mid term basis. ? =20 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 =20 Thank you for your interesting in Chinese piano. =20 Baoli Liu Shenyang Conservatory of Music P.R.China =20 -----Original Message----- =B7=A2=BC=FE=C8=CB: Elian Degen <degen@telcel.net.ve> =CA=D5=BC=FE=C8=CB: MPT <MPT@talklist.com>; pianotech@ptg.org = <pianotech@ptg.org> =C8=D5=C6=DA: 1998=C4=EA11=D4=C222=C8=D5 15:04 =D6=F7=CC=E2: Heintzman Pianos =20 =20 Hello List. =20 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.
