THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
AN^HISTORIC HARPSICHORD.
A unique relic of colonial days, about
which the romanticist might weave glowing
legends, is in the possession of Messrs. Wm.
Knabe & Sons. It is an ancient harpsichord
which at one time adorned the country resi-
dence of Charles Carroll of Carrollton.
The instrument was invented in the XVII.
century, and it is believed that this harpsi-
chord was one of the first ever constructed.
Just how it passed out of the hands of the
family is unknown, and the oldest member
of the Knabe family is unable to remember
just how and when it came into possession
of the firm.
While in London some years ago, William
Knabe looked up the record of the sale, and
discovered conclusive proof that the instru-
ment was purchased by Charles Carroll of
the firm of Schudi & Broadwood, of that
city. The Carroll coat-of-arms appears on
the front of the harpsichord, and is repro-
duced in the photograph which accompan-
ies this article.
The harpsichord was the successor of the
spinet and virginal, and was arranged with
two strings of wire to each note. Tt antici-
pated the pianoforte in shape, and Handel
composed ome of his most brilliant music
upon this instrument.
The harpsichord in the possession of the
Knabes, says the Baltimore Herald, is ar-
ranged with stops on each side and a double
bank of keys. Instead of the wires being
struck by a hammer, as in a piano, a quill
is employed, and the sound produced is like
that of a guitar or mandolin. It is kept as
a souvenir, and nothing could induce the
members of the firm to part with it.
THE KINDER ADJUSTABLE FOOTREST.
Frank B. Burns is making a specialty of
the "Kinder Adjustable Foot-rests," a new
and clever device to help juvenile piano pu-
pils. It is claimed by the inventor that the

children who have the privilege of using it
will "learn twice as fast and practice twice
as much with half the exertion."
Testimonials from parents and teachers
concerning the benefits of the foot-rest for
children declare that it "rests the feet, braces
the body, straightens the back, squares up
the shoulders, strengthens the arms, gives
firmness to the touch and keeps the child's
mind on the work." This rest can be ad-
justed to any piano stool. Frank Burns says
he will send particulars to all who desire
them.
