A GREAT
MUSICAL INVENTION.
“STEINWAY-WELTE.”
After Many Inventions and Many Failures—
A PERFECT INSTRUMENT.
An Instrument of Reproduction.
Exact and individual renderings of Classi-
cal Music played by the World's greatest
Pianists.
“STEINWAY-WELTE”
consists of an Upright Pianoforte, with a
pneumatic attachment which is actuated
by electricity instead of foot power. This
attachment represents the highest possible
development of the pneumatic piano-player,
inasmuch as it furnishes a reproduction of
the actual interpretation placed upon the
written score of a great composer by the
great modern executant. In the words of
a well-known musician, “It is a photo-
graph.”
OPERATION.
After the insertion of the perforated roll, a
button is pressed, which starts the motor;
the tempo lever is set to the mark which
represents the exact time at which the
artist played.
Every piece rendered with distinction, for
over 100 Artists of renown have played for
this instrument.
It immortalises a single performance so that the
touch of a Pianist who has even now passed away may
be handed down to remote posterity.
The regret of Musicians must ever be that this
great invention was not brought out in 1809 instead
of 1909.
Opinions of the World's Famous Musicians:
“My ADMIRATION of the greatest
invention, which bears the name of
‘STEINWAY-WELTE,’ is unlimited. In
my opinion it is the most amazing of all
inventions which have hitherto been made
in the field of Musical Instruments, and
its name will become known and create
the greatest sensation throughout the
world.—TERESA CARRENNO.”
“I had heard a great deal about the
‘STEINWAY-WELTE,’ and am more than
delighted after having heard it played.
What I found most astonishing was the
perfect reproduction of touch, even to the
finest shadings. In short, the ‘STEIN-
WAY-WELTE’ is not only human, but
super-human.—MARK HAMBURG.”
Testimonies by other famous Musicians may be seen

The “STEINWAY-WELTE” may also be used as an
