Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 230, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1916 — Why Orchestras “Tune-Up." [ARTICLE]

Why Orchestras “Tune-Up."

“Why,” asked a visitor to the theater the other day, “do members of the orchestra always worry people possessing nerves, like myself, by tuning up their Instruments?” It is all a mattei* of thermometer, according to a musician. The temperature in different parts of the building is different and the Instruments have to be tuned in the temperature of the place in which they are going to be played. As a rule, the air in a theater becomes warmer as the performance progresses and M the instruments have to be tuned agpt eral times. ::
