Which Reproducing Piano to Rebuild
By Tim Gautreaux

[ Ref. John Johnson in 130218 MMDigest

Of the two pianos, I would rebuild the Welte Mignon Licensee.  It's
nice to believe that you can scavenge Duo-Art parts for the Steinway,
but it's not that simple because reproducing action makers were
constantly changing things in these instruments, and the parts that
you think might work, might not fit or perform properly.

I also like the "obvious" dynamics of the Welte system.
