Heintzman grand piano

I'm writing this while I'm in the car after visiting Robert Lowery's pianos on Eglinton in Toronto. There is a HUGE selection here and I'll have to go back and write again because there are lots to talk about.

First, this piano feels rough. It's a bright sounding piano, but not as bright as say a story and clark. What's interesting is that this piano company is a toronto company (made in china). The salesman, barrie, called it the steinway of canada :P.

About the reaction and feel: the keys felt very clean, the same kind of squeaky clean you get from a washed glass from the dishwasher. Pressing down on the piano felt very precise and accurate. Overall good reaction and better feel than yesterdays Pramberger piano.

Where this piano fell short was the tone. Too high for my tastes, and for a 6'1" piano, it didn't have the same fullness you expect from a piano of this size.

While not the best piano played for the price range that I'm looking for, if I had to spend about 15G's on a piano or less, this brand would be one that I'd strongly consider.

This was the only Heintzman played on today, I will be back to try it again for measure since it has good value. To date, the Kawai RX series still has my attention.
