{"product_id":"2940014993821","title":"How To Tune Your Piano","description":"While production and accumulation of a piano have been increasing, there has been \u003cbr\u003elittle, if any, effort made to provide tuners to look after the needs of this \u003cbr\u003eever-increasing number of instruments, no provision for the thorough instruction \u003cbr\u003eof the learner of Piano Tuning, outside the walls of the factories, and of the few \u003cbr\u003emusical colleges where the art is taught. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoubtless there are many persons who are by nature well adapted to this \u003cbr\u003eagreeable and profitable occupation—persons who would make earnest effort to \u003cbr\u003eacquire the necessary skill and its honest application if they had a favorable \u003cbr\u003eopportunity. Musical colleges in which tuning is taught are few and far between; piano factories\u003cbr\u003e are built for the purpose of producing pianos and not tuners, for mechanics \u003cbr\u003eand laborers and not for teachers and pupils; furthermore, very little fine tuning is done in the factory; rough tuning is the bulk of the work there, and a long \u003cbr\u003eapprenticeship in the factory, with its meager advantages, is rarely sufficient to \u003cbr\u003emeet the demands of the would-be-thorough tuner. \u003cbr\u003eThis may account, in part, for the fact that many who are incompetent are \u003cbr\u003efollowing this profession, and that there is an increasing demand for tuners of skill.","brand":"Barbara West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069499261168,"sku":"2940014993821","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014993821_p0.jpg?v=1763947258","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014993821","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
