BRUNO, THE H1RP MAKER, DEAD.
One OF the Few Men Here Who Thoroughly
Understood That Hare instrument.

One OF the Few Men Here who Thoroughly
Understood That Rare Instrument.
Rocco Bruno. one of the best known harp
makers OF this country. died on Wednesday in
the apartments which he occupied above his
work shop at 725 Nlctrc poli.an avenue. Brook
lyn. Owing 10 the expensive character OF the
instrument and the fact that there are few eX-
pert players, there IL PERHAPS less demand for
hlrps than for any othc: musical instrument
Bruno was one OF tho .ew men in this city who
manufactured them nnI his Instruments were
OF such cAccll"nt tone and workmanship that
they we're much sought after by musicians
Bruno was 80 years old and his death was
caused bY n stroke Of parnlys His wife and
ten children survive.
Rocco Bruno was born in the province OF
Naples near the city Of the that name. His tHsts
we're musical from his youth, and, like many
other Italians he learned 20 play Il little on the
harp. At the age OF ~ he came ty this couh-
try, bringing his harp with him. Through an
accident the framework OF the instrument was
broken. Bruno took ii to the only harrmaker
the price demanded was too high for his
pocketbook. Thereupon he resolved to do
the JOB himself. Armed with hammer. q
wood, he tcied patiently until the break was
mended Then he called in musician of his
What do YOU think Of the job?" he asked.
VERY good replied the musician; who
Il myself" answered Eocco proudly
Then said his friend, II YOU can mend
a harp like that You can make harps as well.
From that time BruaO :oiled early and late
until he had mastered every intricacy Of his
favorite instrument. twenty-five years ago he
produced his iirGt harr Since then he has
at - Crosby street. Later he moved To Mn
rion street and then TO Ri Rroome stree. He
had lived in BROOKLYN only about two months
I'm 1876 Bruno was working on harr which
he expected to exhibit ut the Centennial In
dent the harp was not completed in time. and
Bruno turned IL over to his son. JOSEPH. who
was Just learning to play the instrument Since
then the boy has grown to manhood and he
come a harp soloist
Bruno dealt in and repaired other musical
instruments. and his shOp is Il perfect mu-
scum OF old viJlins. guitars. banios and wind
instruments. but his heart was always in harp
making. and he never tried to manufarture
other instruments. Three Of his sons will con-
tinue the business.
