Heintzman Grands of recent production

[Jim Kinnear]

HI
As a Canadian, I am proud of the quality and heritage of the Heintzman & Co
pianos.
As a musician, I am happy to own a transposing Heintzman, 1903 . .
beautiful to play.
As a tuner, the projecting agraffe bridge makes it a pain to tune.

It's too bad when a grand old name is slapped on a wannabe from asia . .
Kind of like a Steinway by Y-C . . .
Are there many original Heintzmans floating around the States . .??
