'Gerhard Heintzman' brand pianos: second-best level of quality pianos 'Heintzman & Company' brand pianos: best quality pianos

Here's a summary of what I think can be concluded from the above quote from wikipeida: Brands that were produced for them, and sold with a 'From Heintzman & Company' decal were Gerhard, Weber, Stevenson.ДЄnd so, if this information is correct, I suppose one would conclude that after 1927, the Nordheimer piano was not the best piano that Heintzman made - its quality level was two steps below 'Heintzman & Company' brand pianos. Heintzman's top pianos were produced under the 'Heintzman & Company' brand, with the 'Gerhard Heintzman' brand being next, then the 'Nordheimer' brand. Over the years, Heintzman produced pianos were sold under several brands names, and Heintzman also sold pianos produced for them by other piano manufacturers.

also took over the Nordheimer Piano Co, and in later years produced pianos under the Nordheimer name. In the 1920s (mikes note: 1927), when many Canadian piano manufacturers were struggling, Heintzman & Co. In later years they also produced pianos under the Gerhard Heintzman brand. continued to operate Gerhard company for several years. Theodore Heintzman's nephew, Gerhard Heintzman, was also a piano maker, and when Gerhart died in 1926, Heintzman & Co.

I found another relevant paragraph of information about Nordheimer pianos and a change in the production of these pianos that may have occured in 1927:
