New CD of Frick Welte Style 6 Orchestrion
By Tom Grace

Hi Gang -- Well, I have just listened to the new Welte Orchestrion CD
from the Frick Art & Historical Center in PA and must say that it is
first class!  A very well done recording and no doubt the instrument
was just freshly tuned by Durward Center who restored this Style 6
back in 1991.

The CD has 15 "Classic" tunes with a total of 65 minutes playing time.
Finding CD's like this is rare; this is the only other Welte orchestrion
on a CD that I know of other, than the one I produced back in 1991.  If
you love Welte orchestrions and their music like I do, you must hear
this CD.  It is available from the Foundation or you can order it from
me as I have them in stock now.  The cost is $18 plus postage; email me
for details.

Happy Listening!

Thomas Grace
