Many people think 1t is an easy matter to tune piano. but this is not the case. As celebrated a must. clan as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallacious iGea. He would not permit the instrument to be tuned in the ,Tareroom, one of his whims being that even ! short removal of a piano knocks it 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, seizing the wrench, began doing it all ovsr agaiE In three min utes he had tne piano so hopelassly out of gear that it took three hours to get 1t right again.
