This first design of the Welte-Mignon, in the form of a so-called cabinet, was a quantum leap in the faithful reproduction of a pianist’s playing compared with the simple pianola push-up players known until then. The Feurich “Mignon back with tuning keyboard” was sent to M. Welte & Söhne in Freiburg on November 26, 1908 at a price of 345 marks. This cabinet was comprehensively renovated around 2012 and plays very beautifully again today. Here you can find a video of this instrument. Most recently it was in use for two years on loan to a museum.
