This larger edition of the 1927 Welte-Mignon Licensee roll catalog is particularly beautifully designed. It opens with a section outlining the recording technology, followed by a first section in which the rolls are listed by pianist, with photographs of the artists and descriptions of the titles. This is followed by sections featuring special rolls and composers. Next comes a section on accompaniment rolls, followed by one devoted to dance and vocal rolls. A subsequent section lists the titles by composer, and the final section presents them in alphabetical order. 323 pages. We offer a PDF copy of this rare catalog for research and reference purposes for EUR 95.00. If interested, please send us a request..
