I'm looking for some info on a piano that has just come into my hands. It is an Holzl Heitzman, about 5'10'', has 85 keys, a rail type set up that goes above and across the strings on which the damper levers hinge, and also an action that slides down into position with the hammers turned 180 from todays pianos. So the hammers are closer to the keys than the hammer flanges are. It is in very good condition for it's age, sounds good and plays okay. The hammers are covered with leather, but sound okay. Have any of you seen and / or serviced these? Thanks in advance for your help.
