He might have purchased & small piano for his cabin, but hav- ing successfully made two violins he wondered if he could make the larger instrument. His idle hours in port and his idle hours at sea when fair winds and calm waters permitted him to leave the byidge were spent in delicate work over this plana. It is extremely soft of tone, for he wanted to be able to play without disturbing the sleep of the offi- cers in cabins about his.
