SUCH A SIMPLE INSTRUMENT But Somehow or Another the Ex planation Only Muddled the Man Who Wanted to Learn and Who De ckled to Tackle an Accordion. The band was playing loudly In the Trinkfestblergarten and the little bald headed man had his eyes fastened Inter estedly on the trombone player. When the players stopped to recuperate he beckoned the man who works the loose horn over to his table and ordered two glasses of schoenesbraue. “My name Is Biggs.” said the man wboso hair was absent. “One of my lungs is trying to quit work, and the doctor advises me to break up its shift less habits by blowing n brass. The careless way you yank that pump born looks good, and I want you to put me ou.” “What do you want to know?" asked the musician. “Just a hint nbout how you handle that wind machine so nonchalantly." “The trombone Is very simple," re plied the muslker, wiping his lips, which curled In thick, red volutese. “The slide Is divided Into seven shifts, or positions, about three Inches apart. “Starting with the lowest note in the first position—the slide closed—you get B flat. Push out the tubes and you hit successively A. A flat, G, P sharp, P and E.” "That’s only seven notes.” objected Biggs. i on. ueinng tne rest nepenas on how you pucker your lips. In the first position you can make, figuring up ward, II fiat. F, It flat. D, F, B flat and C. In the second you obtain A, E, A. G Sharp, E, O and A. The third gives you A flat, E flat. A flat, C, E flat and A flat. It works out the same all the way down. “There are higher notes that I didn’t mention, but you won’t want to mon key with them. But a good player has a compass of more than three octaves.” Biggs looked troubled. "Let mo see,” he said. “You start in the first position with B flat.” “Yes,” replied the other—"that Is, provided you are playing in the bass clef. In the treble clef the first posi tion Is C.” “What!” exclaimed Biggs. “It’s one BojjB ono time and another another?” “In the treblo clef,” explained the musician, “the trombone Is n B flat horn. In the bass clef It Is a 0 horn.” Biggs mopped tils brow. “Say that again, will you?” he ap pealed. "Don't you see?" came the answer. “When the first position Is C it'B a B flat horn. When the same shift Is B flat it’s a C horn.” Biggs unbuttoned his coat. “You may call this thing simple,” he said, “but if it Is I’ll give myself up at the nearest asylum. You are talking nnttoyms.” The musician grinned. "We’ll take ono thing at a time,” he said. “In getting at what a B flat horn Is let’s consider n cornet.” “Let’s, if it’s simpler," said Biggs hopefully. , “It’s because It’s always a B flat horn," replied the other. Then he add- i ed, “Except when It's an A horn.” Biggs gave a sickly smile. “The lowest note on a cornet when open—when no keys are pressed down —Is really B flat,” said the bandman. “But It Is called C.” “That doesn't make It C,” said Biggs. “For nil practical purposes it does,” was the reply. “There Is a reason for doing this, but It’s complicated and at present I’m keeping to simple facts.” “Yes, Indeed.” murmured Biggs. “In an orchestra, for instance, when the first violins are playing in C Bat umi the cornetlst’s score Is two semi tones higher and Is thus written In D or two sharps. When the violins are playing In D the cornet player Is toot ing In E or four sharps. But If things kept on this way the cornetlst would soon be lost in a confusion of sharps and double sharps, so he slips an A crook on his Instrument. That raises the signature three semitones. When the fiddles play In A or three sharps the cometist Is blowlug along the easy path of C natural.” “Look here,” said Biggs, “If my wife Is playing ‘Under the Pink Lilac Bush’ on the piano, couldn’t I play with her from the song score?” “Not unless you can mentally trans pose ns you go along,” said the mu sician. “The system looks queer at first, but It’s logical. Its purpose Is to bring the same music within the nat ural compass of all the Instruments of a baud or an orchestra. But If you are going to play the trombone you won’t have to bother your head about any of this, as trombone music Is now adays always written in the bass clef.” “Then what have you been talking about It for and mixing me up?” shouted Biggs, jumping up. “What are you getting mad about?” asked the trombonist. “I’ui not mad,” replied Biggs. “I’m only going to make my will and buy an accordion.”—Washlrgton Post. No Longer a Secret. “So that great Inventor is dead and hlsjsvonderful secret Is lost”— “Not fit all. lie told It to his wife just before he died.” “Yes; that’s what I mean.”—Philadel phia Press.
