Dear friends, it's been a long time since I wrote and now I am back
with you. Today my great question:
In the Waldkirch restaurant called "Bayersepple" played a famous
orchestrion. Nobody knows about this instrument today. Normally
we would think, "It should have been a Gebr. Weber Orchestrion --
but maybe it's a Welte Cottage No. 2 or 3?"
All information was lost during the two World Wars and changes of
owners and the house inside. The only picture I have at this moment
is from 1903.
Does anybody know more about this instrument? I hope so, and see
you at the next International Waldkirch Organ Festival, May 27th to
May 29th, 2011.
Yours,
Wolfgang Brommer - Waldkircher Orgelbau Jäger & Brommer
