The Legend Continues
Story of Heintzman Piano
H
eintzman & Co. Ltd. was a Piano manufacturing and retailing
business based in Toronto 1866-1978. It was relocated to Hanover, Ont, 1978-86
under the amended name Heintzman Ltd. It was founded by Theodore August
Heintzman.
Heintzman received several Canadian patents for improvements that set his
pianos apart from all others.
Theodore Heintzman improved the interior quality of his pianos through the invention of the
Agraffe bridge, a transverse metal bridge extending across the cast iron frame that keeps the strings
from slipping, improves the clarity in treble, and produces a brilliant high tone.
F
rom the time that Heintzman and Company started
to manufacture pianos in Toronto, Canada, unlike many
of their competitors, they aimed at high quality rather
than low cost instruments. This excellent reputation that
was established in 1866 has been maintained for over One
Hundred and Forty Years.
New Heintzman Factory in Beijing, China
Over the years many awards have been presented to
Heintzman for innovative improvements to the piano that have given Heintzman superb tone
that is described as a “unique voice, one that is all at once sweet, rich, resonant and alive.”
The cabinets are both classic and elegant with a wide variety of finishes.
By the time of his death in 1899, Heintzman’s pianos had won at least 11 awards in the United
States and throughout the British Empire,
including the prestigious William Prince of
Wales Medal in London (1886).
Before World War I, the Heintzman name
on pianos was probably better known
throughout the British Empire than the
name of any other Canadian trademark.
The original drawings, scale designs and production equipment of the Canadian Heintzman
Piano Factory are being utilized by “The
Heintzman Piano Company Ltd”. They
are introducing new models, as well
as improving production techniques,
keeping in mind the tradition of high
quality and fine workmanship that was
established in 1866 by Heintzman and
Co. of Toronto, Canada.
“By utilizing the finest materials,
combined with traditional design and
state of the art technology, the legendary
Canadian Heintzman Piano continues!”
70 King Street East
Heintzman’s piano shop was located on
King Street East for almost 100 years.

Unique Structural Design & Features
Finest Materials around the world
German Delignit Pinblock
Reinforced Structure
It is important that the pinblock has the capacity to hold the tuning pins tight
enough by friction alone, so that all the strings are maintained at the right
tension without unwinding, but still allow the piano to be tuned. To do this
Heintzman has employed the very dense, hard material of beech or maple
pinblock, made by the European brand - Delignit. Seventeen ply is
used in the uprights and nineteen ply in the grands.
The beams of the grand pianos are made of top quality solid beech
wood. The poured cast grey iron plate stabilizes the over 20 tons of
string tension.
Unique Heintzman Soundboard
design and back Posts
German Renner Parts
The soundboard on Heintzman piano has high quality
ribs notched to its edge and the unique Heintzman
Accousta Bars help to eliminate undesirable overtones
and allow longer sustain. The Six back post structure is
made of beech wood on most upright models. These
are designed to increase the piano’s stability.
Heintzman makes available one of the finest actions in
the world, the Renner action, from Germany to provide
the best response for the pianist. Also, Renner Blue
Hammers are standard on many professional models.
Made in Germany
Strings that Sing
Silent function
help you practice quietly
International Gold Series bass strings from MAPES in the
USA provide the beautiful singing quality that Heintzman
pianos are noted for. Mapes premium strings are used by well
known brands such as Steinway & Sons, Yamaha and Baldwin.
Easy to use - Silent Switch system on the left bottom key bed
is standard in all uprights. Perfect muting for practising or
playing quietly in a small area.
Made in USA
Bass Sustain Pedals
All Heintzman’s have three pedals that initiate the soft function,
bass sustain and full sustain. These three functions are standard in
all upright models.
Canadian Bolduc Soundboard
Canadian Bolduc Co uses only hand selected, dried and seasonaed Solid Eastern
White Spruce of Premium quality for his soundboards. This exceptionally high
quality solid spruce sound board has been utilized by well known brands such as
Mason & Hamlin and now Heintzman.
