would a 1925 heintzman 6 foot 1 be a good piano?

 the soundboard and pins are in good shape, sounds nice, and seems to be a solid piano tuning wise too

Hello,
Heintzman piano at that time were built in Canada (Toronto) and were of very good quality.  At some point, they were considered the Canadian Steinway...  I had a 1901 Heintzman 6 foot 1 and really enjoyed it.   Mind you, the scale design was modified and the action was microbalanced.  They are very solid and well built.
Regards

I have a junk Heintzman that was given to my by a school.  At one point I thought of restoring it just for the learning experience.  It was great to learn tuning though.  Anyways, I hadn't tuned it in 6 years or so, and I randomly decided to check with the tuner A 440 = 440.  Solid tuning.  The case was made like a tank.  Looks like one too.
