On Tuning a Piano.

Many people think 1t is an easy matter to tune piano, but this is not the case. As celebrated a musi- elan as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallacious idea. He would not permit the instrument to be tuned in the wareroom, one of his whims being that even A short removal of a piano knocks it out of tune. There is, of course, a nodicum of truth ill the theory. So it was tuned upon the platform where he was to perform. He stood over the tuner all the time, at intervals emitting groans and strong German language. When the task was almost completed he gave a shout and, seizing the wrench, began doing it all over again. In three min. utes he had the piano so hopelessly out of gear that it took three hours to get it right again. Herr von Blu low had to pay dearly for this exhibi. ton of ignorance.
