musical Instruments. It was invented
several hundred years ago and in it's

spinet or the harpsichord and afforded
eminent artists many opportunities to

The piano comes either as an up.
right or a grand. The grand is a
large. fat proposition that takes up
several hundred dollars worth Of room.
while the upright has a nice smooth
top on which bric-a-brac may be
placed.
The piano is usually played by youny
ladies until the young mar proposes
