This Welte-Mignon cabinet is made in ebonized oak. It has survived the century completely in its original state – but was evidently not always well housed, so that a complete technical restoration is necessary. Interestingly, woodworm was active on the back panel of this instrument too. It has since been professionally and permanently eradicated. The original unpacking and setup instructions are still stuck to the back. Here, too, the Feurich piano back used in most Welte-Mignon pianos is installed. The Feurich “Mignon back without tuning keyboard” was sent to M. Welte & Söhne in Freiburg on February 25, 1909 at a price of 320 marks. The acoustic piano is also badly in need of restoration today.
