amateur orchestra in north London.
a gentleman, Il tenor trombone
player, applied TO the conductor for
membership. From his tall talk
and his fine instrument, the con-
ductOr thought he had great ac-
QUESTION to his forces, but he
wished to hear him take part in a
rehearsal before giving a decision.
In one piece there were several bars
marked PIP" but the tenor from
bone was played loudly. The con-
ductOr, not wishing to be personal,
gave the band a new trial and told
them to notice the sign ''pp."
A second attempt was made with Il
similar response from the from
bone. There was no help for it, so
the conductor had to say that the
tenor trombone player was playing
very loudly, though the passage
was marked PIP" " Yes its
marked PIP" that individual re-
piled, "and am playing

members of the orchestra roared.
and the tenor disappeared forever.
