The Care tf a Piano


There Is a proper time for every
thing and spring and fall are the prop
er seasons to tune the piano--not win.
ter and summer-as they Will not
stand in the extreme seasons.
More pianos suffer from abuse rath.
than from use. People take care
of everything else and neglect the
nest delicate thin gthey own.
Do not try to make yourself feel
that you are saving money by letting
the piano 60 uncared for, as the longer
it stands the harder 1t is to bring 1t
back up and besides 1t takes much ex-
ira work and then after long period
it takes several cummings before 1t
will stand. A piano should be tuned
regular and it will be worth more
money In ten years IL same course is
followed. Who would think OF allow.
ing any kind Of nice piece OF machin.
cry to go for years without care?
Where the piano has many hundreds
of working parts and practically all or
them wooden joints and when the
piano Is tuned by competent tuner
the action Is looked after and adjusted
and thus saved from serious damages.
Again many people have green ideas
about piano; for instance We often
here people say never put q piano
against an outside wall whereas this
Is dead issue as this idea originated
back in the days when people lived In
brick houses and many times Its out
side walls were damp and the same
would be taken up by the instrument,
while in our modern frame, houses this
does not apply, and one position is a.
good as another SO long as 1t 10 not
near stove, over furnace or near
an open window ,Dampness and ex.
IRENE heat are the worse enemies ,as
the former swells the delicate parts
OF wood and felt and softans glue
joints while the dry heat shrinks the
parts and many times causes q sound
ing board to split.
Don't employ tramp tuner as you
can always get responsible tuners by
calling any reliable dealer and while
am in the tuning business I.always am
glad to recommend good one.
While am on this subject might
add that there are lot Of our best
people and many of them jof the boast.
er type too, that sends out OF town for
their tuner. whereas they would not
think of sending to Chicago catalogue
houses for any thing,
We have good tuners in Ottuniwa
and they should be patronized. Most
reliable houses have tuner In con,
nection and will not recommend .
poor one
NJ H. Nelson makes his headquarters
at my store and does all my tuning
and tunes for the best homes in OF
tumwa and am pleased to recon-
mend his work.
