to it. OF course a grand piano does
not need one-tenth the attention that
is bestowed upon an automobile, but
il should have a fair chance TO give
returns upon its investment. 1t
should be tuned regularly, whether it
is used or not, for piano will get out
OF tune without use as we'll as when

Of its best when il is rarely played.
Differences in temperature are bound
to affect the metal strings and the
wood and change the quality Of its
tone. Many piano with little pet
ting would last twice as long. hold its
tune better and be OF greater musical
value. With string instruments it is
the same and owners of fine old in
struments bcstow the greatest and
most rcverential care upon them, for
these persons appreciate the value OF
doing so.
But OF all abused instruments in the
matter of upkeep the poor pipe organ
is the worst Churches will pay all
the way from $l,500 to $4,000 for a
pipe organ for use in their services,
and them will let it stand FIVE or six
days in the week during the winter
at temperature below freezing and
on Sunday heat it up to from 90 to 80
degrees and then wonder why diff
terent stops are all out OF condition.
Then they send every few weeks for
a tuner to fix it and pay him his fec.
and wonder why it does not stay in
tune, or else they let it go, and blame
the organist because it doesn't sound
well. The fact of the matter is that
every tone of the pipe organ repre-
sents a pipe and these pipes are made
OF wood and different kinds OF metal.
according to to the quality of their
sound. and each carefully adjusted and
regulated. These wide extremes in
temperature affect the different ma
terials in many different ways, and |
by contracting and expanding them
make a difference in the quality and |
pitch OF the tone. and are extremely |
hard upon the organ. Keeping it in |
condition is part OF the upkeep. III

than innumerable repairs and last
