This 2008 Heintzman 130 stands at 51” and is finished in a beautiful mahogany polish. A true professional upright, due to its size, it delivers impressive dynamic and tonal range. A clear and present bass section combines well with a colourful middle and upper register. The touch is accurate and precise and ensures that the player feels connected to the instrument through every performance nuance.

Given its attractive price point, this is an excellent investment for an intermediate player or student seeking a professional upright to take them to the next level. The brand’s Canadian heritage also gives this Heintzman 130 a little extra magic and intrigue. 

Heintzman pianos have undeniably cemented themselves within Canada’s rich history of musical instrument manufacturing. Founded by Theodore August Heintzman in Toronto, Ontario in 1866, the Heintzman piano company established a strong reputation for producing finely-crafted upright and grand pianos that garnered international acclaim and recognition. In fact, Heintzman pianos even earned the nickname of “The Steinways of the North”.

While Heintzman eventually ceased producing pianos in Canada in the 1980s, the name was resurrected by investors that used some of the original factory equipment and scale designs to produce Heintzman pianos in Beijing, China. The traditions of beautiful cabinets, impeccable craftsmanship, and impressive musicality are certainly maintained in this new generation of Heintzman instruments.
