On Tunina a Plano.

Many people think it is an easy
matter to tune a piano. but this is
not the case. AS celebrated must
clan as Hans Won 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 piano
knocks 1t out of tune. There is, of
course. a modicum of truth in 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, Selling 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 Won Blu
low had to pay dearly for this exhibit
ton of ignorance.
