•Hello MMD'ers, I have just listed on eBay, a music roll catalogue for the Welte-Mignon reproducing system. I am not sure if it is for the "Red" T-100 or the "Green" T-98 roll. Could someone enlighten me? My guess is Green, as the cover is green and the date is 1927. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBa...

•I am looking to buy a Welte Vorsetzer (push-up) player. I am interested in any system (T-100 or other). It is better if it is unrestored and complete. I am also buying Welte "Red" (T-100) and "Green" (T-98) system rolls. Mike Kukral Terre Haute, IN

•I have worked virtually all main and some of the lesser known reproducing actions. I believe if the quality of the build is first thought about, they come in this order: Welte German T 100 and T 98 Hupfeld Dea Phillips Duca Hupfeld Triphonola Duo-Art Ampico and Welte Licensee For ease of restoratio...

•The 031024 edition of MMDigest rings some old memories for me. [ Ref. also http://mmd.foxtail.com/Pictures/Welte/index.html I did a fair amount of corresponding with Dick Simonton back in the 1960s. One time he mailed to me two T-98 "Green" Welte rolls as a sample of a collection he had for sale. T...

•For sale: 1927 Seiler Welte-Mignon upright, oak, restrung, perfect original ivories, made in Germany, T-98 "Green" roll system or has adapter for Licensee rolls. Very rare.

•Well, at last the situations seem not that depressing. Tom Jansen offers quite a lot of newly cut rolls. Even Welte T-98 "Green" rolls, for which there has been nearly no market for the last twenty years, are available, and also other rolls like Duo-Art and National Coin Piano, for example. But to ...

Hi, Steve! I am happy to make your acquaintance by e-mail. The roll scanner I built is currently configured to accept any 11-1/4 inch wide, 9 port per inch roll (that is, any roll conforming to the American standard adopted early in this century). This includes early and late Ampico, Apollo, Artecho...

•Love that word, "replicating", as opposed to "duplicting." [ How 'bout "cloning"? :-> -- Robbie ] A few days ago I innocently, and I suppose ignorantly, suggested that it shouldn't be too hard to make new holes on new paper match up precisely with old holes on old paper. Several posts since have ed...

•I agree with Robbie in the motor choices of solution which he has outlined in MMD 010629. I must add that I have seen replacement motors from the 1920's which replace the Welte-Mignon DC motor of circa 1910 with an 1150 rpm one/eighth horsepower AC motor and a pulley having several diameter choices...

•Hello MMD Readers, Having recently acquired a piano with a Welte-Mignon player system I am now looking at building a music library of rolls. In looking at some of the eBay auctions and also in perusing MMD Archives, I see references to Welte Red (T-100) rolls and Welte Green (T-98) which, as a neop...

•In answer to Herb Lindahl's questions in 090507 MMDigest: > 1. What type of Welte music rolls would this system have > originally used? (Green, Red, etc.) 1. If the piano was built after 1922/3 it could have played either T-100 red rolls or T-98 green rolls. Before that time it would have been T-10...

•Do any of our readers have the tracker scale for the Welte Pianon piano? I'd like to compare it to the Wurlitzer-Welte Autograph tracker bar scale. Thanks, Dave Krall [ On page 145 of the Welte-Mignon book by Chas. Davis Smith and [ Richard J. Howe: [ [ "The Pianon was basically the same instrument...

•Back in 1982, someone at Custom Music Rolls in Richardson, Texas, hatched the idea of reading Welte T-100 "Red" rolls and converting them into a form that could be played on a Welte Licensee system. No doubt Ken Caswell was in on it as he loaned all of the original Red Welte rolls for what has been...

•I just received a Play-Rite recut of Duo-Art 70299, "Promenade; An Old Castle" played Serge Prokofieff. Does anyone have the only other Duo-Art Pictures at an Exhibition roll: 65910 No. 4 "Cattle" & No. 5 "Ballet of Unhatched Chicks" that they are willing to part with? What I really wonder is why n...

•I'm one of the few people here that use PlaySK but now version 3.1 of the program has finally been released and I think it's going to be a game changer for those who want to pretty easily turn CIS files into MIDI files without having the hassle of figuring out Warren Trachtman's dated, and frankly ...

•Greetings, I have received a few suggestions as to the scale and coding of the Wurlitzer Autograph rolls that I have scanned but nothing really fits the rolls that I have. They seem to be Welte coded with a minor change regarding the sustain pedal. The best way I can think of to try to resolve the ...

•The Welte master piano rolls have a mystique which exceeds the copies produced from them. Some will claim that the masters are more accurate, and this is probably true, but whether anyone can hear the difference is a subject for debate. Those who appreciate the significance of the master rolls -- a...
