This Welte music roll catalog from 1927 is particularly beautiful. It has a hard cover, 612 pages, published by Steinway London, presumably especially for customers with a Steinway-Welte piano. In the first section the music rolls are listed by pianist, with pictures of the pianists, some at the recording piano. The second section is by composer, and bio details are included for almost every composer. The last section lists national titles and accompaniment rolls. We offer a pdf copy of this rare catalog for research purposes for EUR 100,00. If you are interested, please send us a request..
