Hipkins who were the trailblazers of today&#8217;s &#8216;authentic performance&#8217; movement.\u00a0 Hipkins began at Broadwood&#8217;s in 1840, was a senior workman by 1849 and became Henry Fowler Broadwood&#8217;s right hand man by the 1860s.\u00a0 Wainwright says:<\/h5>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h5>It can be claimed of Hipkins that he more than any other man was responsible for the revival of &#8216;ancient instruments&#8217;.\u00a0 A fine executant himself, he virtually re-introduced the clavichord &#8230; He was also noted for his reintroduction of the Goldberg Variations, which he first played on a double-manual harpsichord in 1892.\u00a0 Hipkins began a trend that paved the way for his rival Arnold Dolmetsch, who built his first harpsichord in 1896.\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.piano-tuners.org\/history\/piano-tuner-history.html#_ftn43\" name=\"_ftnref43\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;

and anomalies, such as the early instrument enthusiast or the owner of a &#8216;mini-piano&#8217;, which are awkward or time-consuming to tune.\u00a0 The Victorian tuner was working in an age of constant experimentation and innovation, and some instruments, which one can only describe as outlandish, were invented and consequently purchased: in 1866, Charles Hess of the USA was granted a patent for his &#8216;Convertible Bedroom Piano&#8217;, which was basically like a large square piano with a pull-out bed at floor level, bureau cabinets and drawers round it, and space for bed clothes, washbowl, pitcher and towels, which additions, he averred, &#8216;adds considerably to its reverberatory power&#8217;.<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.piano-tuners.org\/history\/piano-tuner-history.html#_ftn44\" name=\"_ftnref44\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>The Victoria and Albert Museum now houses &#8216;The Euphonicon&#8217;, a harp-shaped piano built and patented in 1841 by Dr John Steward.\u00a0The combination of piano and harmonium was attempted quite regularly and presumably these instruments were sold and subsequently required tuning.\u00a0 Where one would begin with such an instrument as that made by Alexandre of Paris in 1854 which incorporated 3 manuals, 16 stops and a pedal board in addition to the usual piano action and strings, one can only guess.<\/h5>\n<h5>In 1896 Zender sold an upright piano combined with a music cabinet capable of holding 1,000 pieces of music which also boasted a music stand suitable for a singer or instrumentalists at either end: &#8216;not only a great improvement in the appearance of the pianos, but of distinct value in augmenting the tone.&#8217;\u00a0The advertisement also boasts of having sold 200 of these instruments over the last two months. \u00a0 Heavy Victorian cabinet work was bad enough to remove and to manipulate, but the idea of the tuner having to relocate 1,000 pieces of sheet music into the bargain evokes pity in this particular tuner&#8217;s breast.<\/h5>\n<h5>Much as plastic was regarded as the wonder material to solve every technical problem in the 1960s, so rubber &#8211; or gutta percha, as it was more commonly known &#8211; was the miraculous cure-all of the Victorian age. \u00a0 Consequently, the pianos of that time were invaded by gutta percha: C.P. Venables patented the process of covering piano-hammers in gutta percha in 1885 to protect them from damp, &#8216;especially applicable to pianofortes exposed to varying temperatures&#8217;.\u00a0 J. Spear in 1847 proposed the insertion of india-rubber between moveable parts &#8216;to prevent noise&#8217;.\u00a01857 saw T. Rolfe&#8217;s application to patent &#8216;vulcanized or plain india-rubber in place of wire for a &#8216;check&#8217; while in 1869 Brewer suggested &#8216;india-rubber tubes for under-coating of bass hammers&#8217;, and in 1870 Lambert proposed &#8216;india-rubber springs for action.\u00a0In 1874, Whiteman, evidently scorning the timid approach, wanted india-rubber used instead of felt in every part of the action.\u00a0 Even the respected piano historian, Rimbault, said that:<\/h5>\n<h5><i>gutta percha<\/i>\u00a0before papering, it would effectively deaden all sounds from the adjoining chambers.\u00a0 Or, we believe, a substitute for this is the\u00a0<i>gutta percha<\/i>\u00a0lining, extensively used of late years in covering damp walls.&#8217;<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.piano-tuners.org\/history\/piano-tuner-history.html#_ftn50\" name=\"_ftnref50\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>This obsession with india-rubber must have led to considerable problems for the tuners encountering the instruments thirty or forty years after the piano&#8217;s production, since just as the plastic of the 1960s seemed as though it would be unaffected by age and then suffered fatigue, so the india-rubber began to perish, meaning the tuner had to replace the rubber with felt whenever possible.<\/h5>\n<h5>In the realms of normal factory-produced pianos, a tuner working in, say, 1895 could quite feasibly encounter any of the following in his day-to-day calls:- clavichords; harpsichords; square pianos; straight-strung grand pianos; over-strung grand pianos; upright grands (&#8216;These were &#8230; [pianos] hoisted up vertically on a box with four legs, the mechanism causing the hammers to strike through the space left, as in the Horizontal Piano, between the sound-board and the pin-block&#8217;; cabinet pianos (very similar to the modern upright); and the upright (both straight- and over-strung and over-and-under-damped: the first uprights dated from around 1801).<\/h5>\n<h5>In most industries, a new invention can herald &#8211; after an initial flurry of newly created employment &#8211; eventual unemployment. \u00a0 This, however, did not apply when the pianola became the new acquisition which every modern family must have. \u00a0 Rather than making tuners redundant the pianola created more work on more counts: firstly, it had new mechanisms based on pneumatics which led to books such as\u00a0<i>From Piano Tuner to Player Expert<\/i>\u00a0by M.H.E. Drake\u00a0being sold in vast numbers to tuners eager to climb aboard this new bandwagon; secondly, the player piano&#8217;s invention in 1900 suddenly permitted those whose knowledge of music was negligible to astound their friends and family as well as becoming the owner of the latest fashionable acquisition. \u00a0 Tuners therefore found themselves with a new clientele which they would not otherwise have had and a new source of income, provided they became conversant with the pneumatics involved. \u00a0 Also, the pianola introduced more men to the piano world, which hitherto had been regarded more as the preserve of women and professional musicians: advertisements often featured men seated at the pianola in an attempt to appeal to this new corner of the market.<\/h5>\n<h5>Men were believed more likely to be interested in &#8211; indeed, to\u00a0<i>understand<\/i>\u00a0&#8211; the new and exciting world of science and technology to which this invention belonged. \u00a0 Also, time was a factor: The\u00a0<i>Musical Opinion<\/i>\u00a0for January 1903 quoted the Chicago\u00a0<i>Indicator<\/i>\u00a0on the subject:<\/h5>\n<h5>Another cause of the rise of the player [piano] proceeds from our American habits of economising time.\u00a0 Our citizen loves music, but he has no time to spend in studying a complex technique.<\/h5>\n<h5>The electric motor&#8217;s subsequent arrival meant that piano tuners also needed some rudimentary electrical knowledge, but the consolation was that women and children now found the pianola easier to work; it was used more, became out-of-tune faster and therefore the tuner had to come more often.<\/h5>\n<h5>Advertisements for tuners seeking employment &#8211; and being sought &#8211; often mentioned harmoniums and American organs, so it would seem it was often the task of a piano tuner to tackle those instruments too. \u00a0 &#8216;PIANOFORTE TUNER (experienced) from Cadby&#8217;s seeks an ENGAGEMENT.\u00a0 Understands Harmoniums&#8217; reads one such advertisement.\u00a0 \u00a0Another seeks &#8216;an experienced Pianoforte, Organ and Harmonium tuner&#8217;.<a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.piano-tuners.org\/history\/piano-tuner-history.html#_ftn55\" name=\"_ftnref55\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>To facilitate the transition from tuning these instruments, Alexander J.
