Sir-Some weeks ago Miss Zillah Castle wrote an article on old musical instruments, mentioning in particular the sad fate of an old musical box at the Wanganui Museum. The box was wait-ing-like so much else has to wait-on the opportunity to snare,a workman to repair it. It was not a case of no appreciation. Half the work is now accomplished, and the sweet tones have delighted many visitors. Another point concerns the 5ft. Maori trumpet. It was
an error to say that no one could play it. Most probably any cornettist could play it easily, but as it is locked in a case, no one has had the opportunity to try to do so for many years past.
