PIANOS GET SICK.
One Reason is Lack of Exercise tnd An

One Reason is Lack of Exercise xnd An
other Is Overwork.
Sometimes a piano gets sick" said
an expert tuner 70 Boston Post man.
This weather seems TO give them the
grip. Pianos, you know, have feelings
the same as anybody. Didn't you
know that? Well, they have. This
piano have just doctored was not 80
much out of tune as II was sick-run
down 1t had caught cold from change
of temperature. There has been .
sort Of epidemic lately, and ever SO
many pianos have had to taae treat
ment. There are two other COM
plants common with pianos: One Is q
lack of exercise, and the other is over
work"
About how much exercise should .
piano get?"
"In most cases from one 10 two hours
a day TO keep il in the best of health.
More than two hours a day slowly ssps
a piano of its vital emery. Another
thing about a piano is that IL has to
breathe. This fashion of smothering
piano IN clothes-I mean draperies
and such things hanging down their
backs-isn't any better for it than to
jam it close up against the wall. A
piano should stand two or three inches
out from a wall, SO that IL can get
plenty Of air. How can piano be ex-
pected 10 be reasonable, I'd like TO
know, if IL isn't treated like one Of the
family, and II isn't attended TO when it
complains"
why isn't piano tuning just the
business for women" this music physi.
clan was asked.
well" he replied thoughtfully, $50
far as the hours and the physical labor
are concerned the business Is Just the
thing for women, but, although they
have the ear, somehow they don't catch
the science of it or the spirit of IL.
They don seem 20 get into sympathy
with piano. | suppose it must be
good deal like the difference in Doctors
Some of 'em understand you and you
think you are going TO get we'll, and
you do get well; while others, who
have just as good pills, don't help you
a bit" ,
