Piano of 1820 Failing Now, Owner Says

| First Instrument Brought To State Finally Shows Age,

By BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor

T'S not surprising that Mrs. P, W,

| Lewis’ Burkart Pianoforte is fails

(ing. It is 117 years old, and so far (as Mrs. Lewis knows, it was the first | piano brought to Indiana. It was transported over the prairies and mountains in a wagon without a scratch to its cabinet or an accie dent to its mechanism,

Melodious notes from the piano have set the pace for lively quads rilles, polkas and schottisches. Bus now from many of its keys come only feebie wheezes, Mrs, Lewis’ grandmother, Mrs, James Salter, was a very voung girl in Philadelphia when her uncle, Mr. Burkart, built the piano for her in 1820. Over the keyboard is the date and the builder's name, Mrs, Salter’s parents came to In- | diana in 1934 but she didn't move | to this state until 1836,

Child Fascinated

As a young girl, Mrs, Lewis was | fascinated by the piano. She would (climb up on the stool and strum {on the keyboard before she was old enough to take music lessons. Because she was so interested, her grandmother and aunts always told her it would be hers someday. Mrs. Salter’s eldest daughter, Mrs, | Emma Dugdale, inherited the piano land then gave it to Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis’ daughters, Mrs. Carl | Vonnegut and Miss Dorothy Pant= zer, have played on the antique piano; and now Mrs. Pantzer's daughters, Dorothy and Peggy, often open it up to test its keyboard. It is larger than most of the pi= |anos of its period. Mrs. Lewis has visited museums and all the instrus ments of its date are much smaller.

Runner Scarf Kept

Its hand-made six feet long and three feet {It looks very much like a ( when its cover is closed. Its thin, graceful legs are of spinet design. Under the keyboard are music drawers, and their handles are cut glass. Mrs, Lewis uses the same runner scarf with which Mrs. Salter covered its glossy top. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis have had ine teresting news from their son, F. W. Lewis Jr, about his fiancee, Miss Eleanor Myrup. Miss Myrup is travs eling in South America in out-of | way spots to gather material for | lectures. She is to fly over the Andes {from Buenos Aires to Rio Janerio. Dorothy Pantzer is in school in | Florida.
