Do you know that the greatest pianist in the world would not think of giving a recital without first having the piano tuned? Do you know the best pianos made will not stay in tune more than a year? Do-you know that a piano is out of tune whether played on or not in one year's time? The above is true, so is there any wonder that a child studying music cannot progress on a piano but of tune, nor an artlst’a work cannot be appreciated on a piano out of tune? If you have not had your piano tuned within the last year, it would be advisable to have it done now. as piano tuning Is a necessity. P. W.
