Horowitz on Welte-Mignon

[psmith2026]

I'm in the States. It's Howard piano made by Baldwin. It has Cincinnati-Chicago under the Howard name. Thank you for your information! And, thank you for sharing Horowitz!

Great find for me! We have a Welte Mignon piano that we must sell but no one wants to restore it. The original player parts were taken off by a previous owner but we still have those parts. Any ideas? I hate to see this tossed to the side like an old shoe.

Hi Patty,

I see you mention on a different link that it's a Howard-Baldwin Welte. I've never heard of these - is it an american licensee version? Are you in the states? It's always a dilema when you want these instruments to go to a good home. You could try craigslist/ebay/piano world...but you may need to say 'free to a good home, buyer collects'. Good luck!

Love the rare roll. This is a great piano restoration. Reproduces to perfection. Well regulated. Bravo! OldSeaDog37

Wonderful! I own 3 Welte pianos and they are truly fantastic instruments. The Technical Museum in Vienna also has a great video and a great display of instruments.

Thank you for posting. Beautiful performance. The Welte is very expressive. Horowitz's career was just beginning toward the end of the reproducing piano era and so he made a relatively small number of rolls for Welte and later for Aeolian Duo-Art in NYC. I have a couple of his Duo-Art rolls which I play on a Weber Duo-Art grand.
