It’s a past that is long gone, but perhaps not entirely forgotten. Heintzman, a part of Toronto’s history, and arguably the crown jewel of Canada’s storied piano making past.
The piano was later auctioned off for $3.22 million, a record-setting price for a piano. If you have a large screen TV, or saw other close-up footage, you might have noticed a detail that should have caught any Toronto music lover’s eye - the brand name of the piano was Heintzman. If you were watching the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, you might have taken in Lang Lang performing on a stunning nine-foot grand piano made of sparkling crystal. Heintzman, Mason & Risch, Mendelssohn Piano Co., Newcombe Piano Co., Nordheimer, and Gourlay, Winter & Leeming, all major piano manufacturers based in Toronto.
