and professions, Piano Tuning does
not require expensive tools.
And in conclusion Mr. Cake says:
"There are approximately six million
pianos in the United States. And there
will be many more within the next
few years. Pianos should be tuned
twice a year; professionally used in-
struments from six to twelve times a
years. And there are less than three
thousand active tuners in America to-
day. There should be 20,000."

refelting, which is coordinated with
systematic tuning study and practice.
Any student originating work of his
own before graduation may bring that
work to the school workship and there
do the necessary repair under school
supervision and in this way earn while
he learns.
The Combination Course
Arrangements can be made for week
ends at the school if preferred. Tests
for graduation either at school or un-
der supervision of a recognized musical
authority or NAPT piano technician in
your own community, and designated
by the School. Supervised Field Ex-
perience with opportunity to learn
while one earns is available by coming
to the Harrisburg area.
Tuition Payment Plan
Extended tuition payments may be
made by those who do not wish to pay
the full tuition fee upon enrollment.
There is no added charge for this pay-
ment privilege, and it is applicable to
both Resident and Extension Courses.
Basic tools used in school work and
in actual service work are furnished by
the school and may be retained by the
student after graduation. In contrast
to tool requirements of other trades

only expensive, but oftimes leads to an
unpleasant call which is in itself so
trivial yet it may be the means of in-
terferring with a new sale.
At this point it should be of interest
fo every dealer. Consequently a few
keys sayed down, and the customer be-
gins to wonder why should keys stick
right from the beginning and just de-
livered.
Dampness in this case seemed to do
the damage, so slight indeed as to cause
annoyance.
The instrument may have been de-
layed in shipment during bad weather,
and on account of the customer being
in a hurry to have the instrument sent
home, there was not sufficient time.
