After some 35+ years in this delightful avocation, time has come to
shrink back my collection to something more manageable. I recently
disposed of my Welte-Mignon piano without ever restoring it, so 35
year collection of 279 Welte-Licensee music rolls is now available.
My preference is to dispose of them as a single group. However,
as a realist I may be persuaded to sell them individually, but only
after an attempt through eBay, something I would rather avoid.
Offers would be appreciated.
I have cataloged my Welte rolls and the list is posted on my
personal web site: http://www.mts.net/~smythe/welte.htm
In addition to the music rolls listed, I also have available the
323-page 1927 Welte catalog, published by the Deluxe Reproducing
Roll Co., New York. It is in reasonably good condition, some crayon
markings on Foreword page, plus a few minor pencil and crayon marks
in a few scattered pages, fully intact and legible.
The list is also available as a Lotus-123 spreadsheet file, for
those inclined to import it into a spreadsheet or database utility
for various sorting and analysis. It is a compressed file in 'zip'
format. It may be downloaded directly by clicking on
http://www.mts.net/~smythe/welte.zip
I also have a complete Welte grand mechanism, plus many additional
Welte parts I'm currently cataloging. I'll have this list available
soon.
