PORTABILITY V. POPULARITY
The relative portability of . various musical instruments has bearing on their popularity. It is true, as statistics show, that the musical instrument which goes everywhere with ihe owner, namely, the human voice, remains first favourite. But the piano, in spite ot its comparative immobility, is easdy second. leaving the violin a poor third, and the (lute, to say nothing of the penny whistle, “unplaced.” The pipe organ, the only one of them all which is literally a permanent fixture, takes the booby prize, though the double bass, as might be expected, runs it close.
