Show Jangling Piano String Another case occurred in n house where I was once stopping in Nova Scotia A piano with a bad noto was fixed by simply opening an inside shutter shut-ter of a bay window at the opposite side of a parlor from the piano The latch of one shutter was lightly resting against the edge of another and caused the jangle jan-gle when ono particular note was struck The lady player had previously declared that she would send for a toner tho next day and laughed at my attempt to fix it I by hunting about the room while she pounded However she did not conceal her surprise when the trouble was removed re-moved and admitted that there was something about this sound business that she did not quite understand In regard to locating these jangles however will say that it is not always so easy It requires some practice before the ear becomes capable of locatingwith any degree of success tho direction of sounds of this kind This was my er < perieuce with tho first piano jangle that of the cracked globe which was quite difficult That of the window shutter was easier as well as many others oth-ers which I have located since A correct cor-rect musical ear is also an important adjunct in tho caseA A Knudson in Popular Science Monthly |
