This is the earliest surviving Welte built-in piano known to us – at least according to the Feurich serial number. The Feurich “Mignon back with full / large keyboard” was sent to M. Welte & Söhne in Freiburg on April 30, 1908 at a price of 470 marks. Our second piano of this type, with serial number 21358, reached Welte almost two months later but received the earlier Welte case number. Surely many instruments were in the workshop in parallel and were finished at different speeds. This instrument is preserved in its original state. It had already been dismantled by the previous owner for restoration – but the restoration was never started. After a necessary renovation, the instrument will play and sound magnificently again.
