To Ever Higher Heights

T HAS now been considerably more than a generation
since the house of Welte first gave to the world a
means of accurately reproducing the playing of mu-
sicians upon keyed musical instruments.
This principle was first applied to large pipe organs and
orchestrions, but several years later this principle was
adapted to the modern piano. And because the devices
involved were so very much smaller, they were given the
name of Welte Mignon—The Little Welte.
The Welte Mignon was the pioneer in the field of re-
producing pianos. It was then, as it is today, the one
supreme and artistic means of reproducing the playing of
pianists. It has been imitated by many, but equaled by
none.
One hundred and fifty-six of the greatest pianists, com-
posers and musicians of the past twenty years have recorded
their playing for the Welte Mignon. More than four
thousand of the world's greatest musical compositions
have been thus recorded, constituting the most valuable
library of interpretative music in existence.
And the Welte Mignon is today in the midst of plans
which will carry it to a still wider field of usefulness and
higher achievement.
