Introduction & Welte Philharmonic Player Organ
By Kyle B. Irwin

Hello all.  I'm a new member of MMD.  I have several player instruments
in my collection.  Just this week I was given a beautiful 9-rank Welte
Philharmonic player pipe organ.  Unfortunately the player mechanism was
dismantled but is still all here.

The rolls seemed to have walked out the door so I am without any rolls.
Are there any books or reference materials on the Welte Philharmonic?
Any rolls that were recut?

If I can't locate any info I might have to convert the organ to solid
state.  I look forward to hearing from some of you.

 [ Welcome to MMD, Kyle.  I hope that we will hear from the experts
 [ about sources of rolls for the organ.  Also, MMDer Tom Grace can
 [ tell you about adding electronic control to a Welte player organ.
