The Amazing New
WELTE-MIGNON Musicalle
makes possible for the first time an hour of uninter-
rupted music by the great pianists of the world . .
RN BACK the calendar twenty-four
years. . . From the House of Welte
came the announcement in 1904 of an
instrument which exactly reproduced the play-
ing of the master pianists. . . .
Such simplicity of operation has never before
been achieved in musical reproduction. Every
annoying interruption is banished . . . no
dials to turn . . . no rerolling
no changing of records.
Today—twenty-four years later—the WELTE-
MIGNON Corporation announces the second
truly great and significant step in the progress
of musical reproduction . . . the WELTE-
The Musicalle is a cabinet containing eight
records and the silent mechanism for control-
ling them. It is connected with the piano by
a small, easily concealed cable. A tablet,
scarcely larger than a small book of verse,
operates the Musicalle—resting inconspicuously
on a table or stand in your library .
your "music room . . . your dining room
. . . wherever you wish.
MIGNON
Musicalle.
. . . A woman relaxes in the soft depths of
her favorite chair . . . On the table by her
side re Us a small tablet with eight ivory but-
tons . . . She presses one . . . From her
superb piano, a WELTE-MIGNON, flow the
magic strains of a Chopin Nocturne . . .
Paderewski is playing. . . Silence for a mo-
ment . . . the silence of appreciation . . .
She touches another button, choosing at ran-
dom . . . Josef Hofmann—playing Mendels-
sohn's "Rondo Capriccioso." In modern mood
she turns to Gershwin . . . "The Rhap-
sody in Blue" . . . For an hour or more, she
revels in the world's great piano music . . .
never moving from her chair . . .
. . . .
This is the new
WELTE-MIGNON
Musicalle
Of course, there will be times when you
yourself desire to play. Remember that the
Musicalle leaves your piano wholly at your
disposal—unaffected in appearance, action or
tone.
