iii.
Do
not
load
the
top
of
a
piano
with
books,
music,
&c.,
as
the
tone
is
thereby
deadened,
and
the
disagreeable
noise
alluded
to
in
the
last
paragraph
is
often
produced
likewise.
iv.
Have
your
piano
tuned
about
every
two
months;
whether
it
is
used
or
not,
the
strain
is
always
upon
it,
and
if
it
is
not
kept
up
to
concert
pitch
it
will
not
stand
in
tune
when
required,
which
it
will
do
if
it
be
attended
to
regularly.
v.
An
upright
instrument
sounds
better
if
placed
about
two
inches
from
the
wall.
vi.
When
not
in
use
keep
the
piano
locked.
vii.
To
make
the
polish
look
nice,
rub
it
with
an
old
silk
handkerchief,
being
careful
first
of
all
to
dust
off
any
small
particles,
which
otherwise
are
apt
to
scratch
the
surface.
viii.
Should
any
of
the
notes
keep
down
when
struck,
it
is
a
sure
sign
that
there
is
damp
somewhere,
which
has
caused
the
small
note
upon
which
the
key
works
to
swell.
