The practiced band Is at one with the accurate ear, and the pressure is brought to bear with most delicate adjustment to the resistance. The tension is never exceeded, be never breaks a string; but he patiently strikes the note again and again till the tone is true and the ear is satisfied, and then the muscles relax and the pressure ceases. v Bern urn's Reedy Retort. * Baraum once appeared at Oxford to lecture on "Humbug."
