This is an example of the renovation of a Welte-Mignon cabinet. What is special about this instrument is its very early year of manufacture, since the Welte-Mignon cabinet was only offered from 1905. We found this instrument in Canada. Overall it was in good condition; it had already been partly dismantled, as the previous owners had wanted to tackle a renovation. We completely restored the instrument and returned it to its former beauty.
The Welte-Mignon cabinet is the first design of what was then a reproducing instrument hailed as a wonder of the world. It is therefore particularly interesting for museums and collectors. This instrument is now in a museum in Japan.
