•I recently acquired a 1917 Wurlitzer Autograph piano that uses the Welte-Mignon system. It has the Wurlitzer 6-roll changer and still has its original factory paint job of ivory with gold leaf trim. The rolls for this piano were the subject of a discussion on MMD back in 2006, indexed at http://www...

•Anyone wishing to read the history and see photos of the Wurlitzer "Autograph" piano with the Welte-Mignon reproducing system can visit my web page. It's well worth seeing: http://antiquemechanicalrestorations.com/FOR_SALE.php Paul Manganaro

•Some of the information published in the past has created some confusion about the Wurlitzer Autograph pianos and it's connection to the Artecho. The Artecho system wasn't introduced until late 1920 or 1921. Many Apollo pianos are incorrectly assumed to be from 1917 through 1920 because the Pierce ...

•I'm working on the history of the ArtEcho reproducing system and need more information on the coin-operated Wurlitzer Autograph Piano. Wurlitzer produced thirteen Autograph pianos between 1915 and 1918 that played a music roll based on the Welte-Mignon system {ref. 1]. Between 1921 and 1926 they ma...

•Following on from yesterday's mention by Adam Ramet, here's what I wrote about Grieg and his Autograph Metrostyle rolls for the Player Piano Group bulletin a year or so ago. --- The Autograph Metrostyle The Metrostyle was a means by which a suggested interpretation was printed onto piano rolls to a...

•Greetings, I wrote a software converter to convert the Autograph scans I recently made into Welte Licensee format so I can listen to them on my Vorsetzer. It occurred to me that I can easily write the reverse converter to produce Autograph rolls from Welte T-100 or Licensee rolls. This could make m...

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- Hi there, I wrote before Christmas to ask if anyone knew anything about the piano rolls that pianist Carl Reinecke made for Hupfeld. I've not heard anything yet but I just read a posting from 1998 by Julian Dyer about Reinecke's Aeolian Autograph...

•On the very faintest of chances that more of these might still exist and somehow, someone out there has found them and has them sitting on the shelf, I would be interested in purchasing Wurlitzer Autograph Piano rolls made for Wurlitzer by M. Welte & Sons. The rolls are 11-1/4" wide and have the Wu...

•I have a QRS Celebrity roll, "Tea for Two" played by Liberace, that is autographed on the bottom of the box by Liberace himself. Does anyone know what the value would be? I am sure it would be more than without the autograph, but not sure how much. Thanks, Rich Ingram

•Regarding Rich Ingram's question about the Liberace autographed roll box in the 110803 MMD, I have paid anywhere between $5 (signed card) and $100 (signed and inscribed photograph with the famous "piano" signature) for Liberace's autograph. There are so many fake Liberace autographs out there, it's...

•In 1914 Wurlitzer acquired a near half-ownership in M. Welte & Sons. In 1915 they introduced the "Wurlitzer Electric Piano - Autograph Style" for the high grade commercial market. It utilized the Welte-Mignon expression system in a 98-hole, 11-1/4-inch wide format (predating the Auto-Pneumatic "Lic...
