The piano goes out of tune so gradually that often the ear of the user, even though a good musician, becomes accustom to it. But the piano can sound so bad that we wonder how anyone can get used to that ear-piercing piano noise caused by the clashing of string vibrations. That children must often practice on such pianos is unfortunate, for it does mean suicide to many promising careers. “If the ear of the student is naturally musical, the poor piano will be an endless source of disturbance and torture; if, on the other hand, the musical taste of the beginner be as yet unformed, what can be imagined more harmful, more obstructive to progress than an instrument that is out of order or more often out of tune.” – John Freund, editor of “Music Trades”, late 19th century to the early 20th.
