hoio the public c.m aoo it.
'o ' learn something about
ho ins and outs of this injs-
orious business , .1 Tunes reporter
ailed a shoit tnno ago at , i h.ind 01-
an factoiy , and in ixoiy nmnusic.xl
nd dusty atmosphere had a convorea-
ion \\ith one of its managers. Tlio
actory , which until within a short
imo was the only onu in Amoiic.i , in
n the lower part of the city ; and it
night easily bo paesod a hundred tunes
\ itliout its modest uignB.ittracting ] any
ttoution. It is up 8ovcr.il ( lights of
tana , and when reached it is not 1111-
osing. Ono largo room , without too
lany windows , comprises the uholo
> f it ; and thoio are not enough work-
nen in the place to lift one of the
argor si/ts of stationary org.ms , mieh
xs ha\e come into use in larger beer
aloons. 15ut tlio men \\oio all busy
vhon the reporter cxllednnd the manger -
, ger was several times interrupted by
ustomoia in the course of a brief con-
orsation. The customers , though ,
vore not of the most profitable kind.
They nearly all had organs undergo-
ng lepaira or elianniiig their tuiKH.
"I hx\e no objection to telling you
inthing jou want to know about tlio
nisiuoHS , " said the manager , "for ,
hough people generally know little
ibout it , it is only because they do
lot take the trouble to inquire ,
Chore are no secrcta in it any more
ban there are in the piano or parlor-
organ business indeed , not aa much ,
or some of the piano-makers have
mjcessos of their oxvn which they
coop to thomsolvea. Wo have no
ccrots at all , and no patents. Ono
nan is as frco to make a hand-organ
.3 another , if ho knows how. The
echnical skill required for putting the
unes in an oigan is a sullicient pro
ection to the business without any
ogal safeguards. There are only
hi oo mi'ii in America who can mark
in organ barrel for the tunes , and I
loubt whether there are 50 men in
ho world who can do it. So you see
t is something of a monopoly without
nj * patents. There is very little
: ompetition in the business anywhere ;
n this country there is none. There
sn house in the city that impoits
land org.ii'H from Europe , and at one
ither pUce bore they are made. We
,11 sell at thesamu puces , and all have
i fair business without making suddci :
ortunea. Last year was tlio best year
vu have over seen for the business ii
New York.
"It may seem fitrango to you , " the
mud-organ man continued , "thai
there should be a Hidden increase n
> tir business iu any paiticular year ,
It is easily explained. Tu the lira
[ ) hico , you must have noticed that i
large majority ot iho ograii-grinders
are Italians. Italy in the home of the
liand organ , and un Italian out of
work takes almost as kindly to turn
ing the handle as he does to eating
maccan/ni. Among the emigrants
who arrived within the last year were
a great initny Italians , who all have
to gather , in BOIIIO way , enoui'h money
to keep them alive. 801110 of then ;
are not able to work and others am
not willing. A large percentage o !
these who do not work take to giind
ing organs. This is one cause o
the increase in business. An Italian
in the oigan business does not generally
orally expect to earn enough money
himself , but sends his wife out also ,
lie taking one organ and she another
the children being divided bctwoei
them , In this way they sometimes
pick up a good deal of money. I'll
other cause is the nnusuitlly mild
winter. The Italians do not like cold
wexther , and gi-norally keep in th
house as much as possible in the winter
tor mouths. Hut this year there hav
been BO many warm days there bai
been a great demand for organs ,
These two things taken together hav
given the hand-organ huamcss a lift.1
"You , " the organ man wont on , in
reply to a question , "tho organs yo
see in the streets ) are generally rented
and do not belong to the people whi
play them. There are live or i >
large pUcos in the city where an ,
nuinbor of organs can bo rented , bo'
sides a number of smaller places
where only one or two organs are kop it
for lure. There IK one place in Mot tt
stioet and two in Mulberry street ,
both within a block of police head 1-
quarters There is another in Crosby
street , and still another , the largest
place of the kind , in liluikor street.
In the Uleckor street place 15
to 18 organs are kept , and on
a fair day they are generally all
in USD. Notho people who keep those
places do not buy these organs from
us , They are generally old organ-
grinders themselves , and know about
what an instrument in worth. They
watch their chances till they find a
man with an oigiii who is in need of
money mid lend him 810 or Slo , tak
ing his instrument 1rsocuritj. . N'mo
times out of ton tin- borrower is uu-
able to rpp-\y tlio lum , and Iho capi
talisls keens the . r m When ho gets
enough instruments to start m busi
ness , ho routs Hum out bythedaj.
Tito lent ho gets ( Upends \orymueli
upon the organ and the number and
character of the times it plajs The
customer has soine'lung to do with
it , too. 1'or instance , if a
man has pos ossic'ii of a good cornel ,
where ho oxn take m S'J and Sit a
day , ho has to palusher rout for an
organ than a man who goes winio\or
ho exn ruida _ clnxnoo An organ in
good condition I'lning ton popular
tunes will soinotniuH rent for as much
as § 1 a day. Vrcin this the lent
cornea down as low ua 10 cents a d y
A regular profession l onjaii-gnndei
who is known can genet ally rent an
instrument without any trouble. Hut
a now hand who 11 not known ban to
nivo security for the sxfo return of
the itiitiumont. \ \ moil hao a fancy
for sick organs , and they generally
rent for about 'Jo u nts a dixy. "
"Sick organs ?
"That is some of the slang of the
tiado. The tqm iky little music-
bovos jou often sie melancholy look
ing women plajntg on the comers wo
call aick oigans They are not out of
tune , or oven \\oin mil , as they nooin
to bo , but aio ofun quito now. Tiny
aio made with die-1\\.iy tunes to oxeito
sympathy. A unman with one of
those sick organs , almlf-staived baby ,
and a sorrowful c'Uiitoimnco is HUIO
to m ike a gonil living. Hut these
things aio all outiulo of our pait of
the business.i have nothing to do
with them , of C > IWKO.Vo m.iko the
organs only to HUH i and for eisli , and
there our pxtt of the biiMiioBs ends.
"How many oryuis are tlu-ii1 in the
city ? It is imin | Mililo to saj. \Vo
haio made neail ) 'J)00 ( ) hoio in thin
factory , but they pi all OUT the coim-
tiy , though thej uere nearly all m.ido
for New York men. The orgm-
urinders have regular routis , many of
them just like a theituexl company
Hut there is this ditloienco , instead of
going east and west , they tri\cl north
and south , so as tu Im m the noith in
the summer and the south in the win-
tor. They do all their tra\ohng on
foot , of course , so it la slow work.
Hut they play all aloiuj the road
whoiio\or they come to a house , and
aio sure of making their traveling ex
penses at least. It has been so warm
this winter that , i gieat many of the
tiavolois have nut st uted aonthwaul ,
but take their eluntos in the city.
What an organ-grinder can nmUo in
the city streets is just as uncertain
what a merchant tail malvo. He may
take in $5 in a am > le day if ho haa a
good place nnd stnkes a streak of
luck. On the other hand , ho may
not got half a doll.u , work as haul as
he will. "
"I tell jou , " siid Iho enthusiastic
c rgnn maker , "the hand organ is the
worst miligned musical instrument in
the wotld. Mi'cauiu thoio are a grext
manj' bad ones all hand organs are de
clared a nuisance The iiisti union t can
be made with as tine a tone as the
best piano. Drum away upon a piano
for twenty-live/ thirty years and
what would bo left of the tunoi Hut
hand organs last longer than that , of
ten without anj repairs. I have put
now tunes in orgiu.s that wore made
in Florence rty years before , and
that wore still in good order. That is
one of the diawbacks of the business.
Organs last too long. Liaton to this
olio , and then toll mo whether you
think there is any music in a hand
organ. "
The organ maker , as ho spoke , ad
justed the stops of u now instrument
that liad appuiently just been com
pleted , and turned the handle. The
result was as sweet music almost as
could have been extracted from
piano.
"That is not an unusually fm in
strument , " ho continued , "though it
IB a good one ; and it just shows that
there is as much music in an organ as
in any instrument when it is pioporly
made and m good order. That was
nwlo to order , like all our organs , and
is worth Slf > 0 Itplajs 10 times , .uu"
it is good fin at least I0 ! j'ears' steady
use , with occasional changes of tunes
Wo do a great deal of tune-changing
Two or time popular airs will coax
out more pi-ninoa than a do/on stal
tunes. The tunes are very wisil ; IP
champed when yon know how to d „
it. Do j'ou know anything about Hi i
construction of a hand-oigan ? "
The reporter xviw compelled to con

pxir of bellows with a cold being hidden
don somewhere inside the case , '
kuo v veiy little of organ anatomy.
