OF OAK CASE
THE
Welte-Mignon
Brings to your home
the actual living perform-
ances of
Hofmann,
Lhevinne,
Paderewski,
Bloomfield-Zeisler
and
a hundred
other great
pianists.
The science of musical reproduction has progressed
through the various stages-experiment, medioc-
rity, excellence-but until the introduction of the
Welte-Mignon
it has never reached supreme per-
fection. But today the science has reached its
apex, the goal has been attained and beyond the splendid
achievement realized in the Welte-Mignon it is im-
possible to go.
The Welte-Mignon brings to the
music-lover the actual performances of every great living pian-
ist.
It perpetuates these performances so that fu-
ture generations will enjoy the music of our
present-day virtuosos when their personalities are
but misty memories.
What the Victor is doing for the famous singers
of the world the Welte-Mignon is
accomplishing for the pianists.
But with this difference: The
Victor registers the voice vibrations on the disc,
whereas the sensitive reproducing devices of the
Welte-Mignon are of such nature that every dupli-
cate performance IS MADE DIRECTLY ON THE
PIANO,
thereby reproducing in every detail of
touch, tone and technique the actual
renditions of the pianists, in every sense their original per-
formances.
The series of instruments containing the repro-
duction devices are the Welte-Mignon, as illustrated
above; the Steinway-Welte, an upright
Steinway
piano combined with the Welte-Mignon, and the
Cabinet-Welte, which may be attached to any grand
or upright piano of any make.
