The complete melodeon instructor, in seven parts: Designed as a thorough instruction book for the melodeon, seraphine, eolican, melopean, organ, or any similar instrument . get out oforder, are certainly to be preferred. Setting Up. In setting up an instrument, be careful thatthe parts are firmly screwed together, and that it stands even-ly and firmly on the floor. Care should be taken not to placeit too near the heat of the fire or stove. It is desirable also,that it be as little as possible exposed to dampness, or suddenand extreme changes in the temperature of the atmosphere. Tuning, etc. Reed instruments are tuned by filing the reeds with a fine file. If any tone is too low, it may beraised by filing at the point of the reed; if too high, it may be made lower by filing at the other end, near where it iamade fast to the block. In filing do not shorten the reed, but file the flat surface. Care should be taken not to file offtoo much, as a very little will in most cases have the desired effect. Sometimes a reed is prevented from sounding by aparticle of dust getting between the reed and the block. A careful removal of this will overcome the Piano Style Melodeon.
