HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A PIANO. .

With proper care and attention a
good piano should last a family a life
time, saws Charles H. Steinway, tho
piano manufacturer. in the January
Ladies Home Journal. If this is not
given it. the piano will become harsh
and ''tin-panny," and afford little
satisfaction or delight to its owner.
Ordinary practice, whether by child
or grown-up person, will not injure a
piano in any way. 1t is not necessary
to be professional piano player, and
know exactly with what force to strike
he KEYS in order 10 keep the instru-
ment in good condition. OF course, it
will not be improved by humping the
case, or by striking the KEYS with any
hard substance. Neither does this re-
mark apply to schools and institutions
where playing is taught and the instru-
ment is used continuously for ten or
twelve hours every day. In the latter
case the felt portions will wear out
sooner than if it was used in q private
family
The matter of tuning should not be
neglected. and should never be intrusted
70 any other than an experienced per-
son. Incapable tuners very often
work irreparab'e injury to the most
perfect and costly instruments. During
the first year a new piano should be
tuned every three or four months at
least. After that it will only be neces-
sarv to have it tuned at longer inter-
walls.
Dampness is the most dangerous
enemy the piano has to contend against,
and for this reason The climate must
be considered. Ii the instrument is
placed in a damp room, or left open in
= drarght of air, the result will be that
he strings, tuning pins. and the various
metal parts will become coated with
rust, and the cloth used in the con-
s,ruction of the keys and action, be-
comes swollen. 1t is positively pain
full to play on such piano.
