Welte Style 10 Concert Orchestrion on YouTube
By Adam G. Ramet

At http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfmBtVT9T3M
Attachment thumbnail is a quick flick through some of the Player Piano Group archives. The music is a track from the Grand Organ Concert at the historic Sir David Salomons House on 3rd May 2009 -- the Welte Style 10 Concert Orchestrion is heard playing a selection from Planquette's operetta "Les Cloches de Cornville". Seen are the miniature piano, once property of Reginald Reynolds, Aeolian's London chief demonstrator and Duo-Art recording engineer (the piano is signed by a myriad of famous pianists!), early bulletins, correspondence and clippings, photos from the '70s, '80s and '90s, images from more recent AGM concert-days, weekends-away and socials plus shots of the Golden Jubilee weekend at Salomons in Kent and Brighton. The images show the very wide scope of the group activities and peripheral interests. Regards, Adam Ramet http://www.playerpianogroup.org.uk/
