Hello List.
I wonder if anyone knows a piano Heintzman, it is made in Beijing, China by Heintzman Piano Beijing.
My first appointment today was at a client who brought one from China.
It surprised me
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.
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.
For a chinese piano, the first impression is good, now in the long run I don?t know, Customer says he paid $ 2000.00 for it !!!
If anybody knows it I would like opinions
Elian
