Heintzman Piano

[John Ross]

Hi Terry,
It had been summer, since I looked at it, and I have had it for a
while. (It was on the back burner)
I went out to my shop and checked, not one crack. I haven't checked
the crown, but I have no reason to believe, that it is not ok. These
were extremely well built pianos, and 1922, should have been an
excellent year. Enough time after the WW1, and ahead of the
depression.
Regards,

think perhaps 80 humid summers and 80 dry winters have taken a toll on
it?
