An unedited
transcription of a page 1 article from 6 Jun 1901 Simcoe Reformer.
"We are pleased to note
the following: R. R. McCall, our former townsman and bandsman who left
here for Rochester, N.Y., a year ago, has been very successful both as a
piano and organ tuner. Two months ago he was given the position of
head tuner for the distributors of Steinway's pianos at that city known as
the firm of J. W. Martin & Bros., "The Old House" which has
been in existence since 1861. We quote a few of the prominent
musicians for whom Mr. McCall has tuned: Donani's Piano Recital, Lyceum
Theatre, March 11th, 1901; Madame Schumann Heink, World's famous
Contralto, Baker Theatre, May 11th, 1901; Prof. Ludwig Schenk, Violin
Soloist and Chorus Director, First Unitarian Church, May 17th;
Dousenbach's Orchestra, Hermon Dousenbach's Director, Baker Theatre, May
20th."
