On a recent trip to the back country roads of northern Vermont, we stopped by an antique shop along the side of the road. Buried in the back of the shop was a 1927 Heintzmann baby grand piano. Heintzmann was a Toronto piano maker, and the reseller was an Ottawa/Montreal/Kingston company. The antique dealer said that the original owner was from Canada, and when she moved to the USA, the piano went with her. Her daughter sold it to the dealer. It was beautiful. The beautiful cracks of the aged paint on the wood made it so much more special....only real, good solid pieces are able to escape some the refinishing of the wood by unappreciative owners.
Original ivory keys. Lift the cover...dustless. 1927.
