PIANO" MAKES QUEER MUSIC
Probably Paderewski Would Shudder at Sight of This Native Afri-
 can Instrument.

Africans are a music-loving people, though in a native African village there is not much to be had that will produce sounds of a harmonious na- ture. There the musical instruments are of the crudest kind. Even if the African musician has the real musical gift, with his very best effort it can not be displayed ereditably on the crude instruments at hand
 The African piano" ungainly look Ing as 1t is, shows a good bit of in- genuity both in its construction and its manipulation. so that the sounds blend in some sort of musical strains There are usually IS to 20 keys" in the makeup of an African piano. Each is of polished wood 5 to inches wide and IA to 15 inches in length. Under each key is gourd attached by means of resinous gum, or an application of cement very durable when il hard ems. 4 half circular strip of flexible wood holds all in place. The gourds are of different sizes. Two sticks. like drum sticks are used by the player one in each hand; and the playing is done by pounding with the sticks upon the keys, each of which. when struck. gives cut a different sound
 In some of the villages of Africa where missionaries dwell, the piano" drum, for that is what 1t really is serves as the church bell" to sum mon the people to the services. If manipulated by the native evangelist, which is often the case. the call to prayer and praise rings out with all the Iusty musical CD sounds his wig orous pounding can bring from It.
