Tall Case Steinway Welte at William H. Miner Estate
By David Krall

Re: Welte Brisgovia from William H. Miner Mansion 

Attached are --

(a) a photo of the Steinway Welte-Mignon in a storage building at the
Miner Institute -- they didn't know what they had until I told them all
about it; 

(b) the Welte Brisgovia orchestrion in Bob Johnson's shop;

(c) a photo of Heart's Delight Cottage, the original home of the 
Welte Brisgovia orchestrion; 

(d) a photo of Harmony Hall, the guest cottage which had a Welte 
Philharmonic pipe organ in its auditorium

At my urging, the Miner Institute have moved the tall Steinway piano to 
much better storage. They have the T-100 Red Welte piano rolls as well 
as the Welte Philharmonic organ rolls from the organ in Harmony Hall.
