Pianola
7. March 2020
In 1908, Hugo Popper in Leipzig launched the reproducing instrument “Stella”. Technically it is very similar to the Welte-Mignon. The roll width and scale, however, are different. We are currently restoring one of the very few surviving Stella pianos and are also creating technical records in the process, as no documentation on this instrument has been found to date.
The scale of the Popper Stella system has 114 holes in the tracker bar.
Full of fascination for the pianola, we offer a great deal that is out of the ordinary on these pages. This involves a lot of time and expense for us.
We welcome feedback and also appreciative support, so that we can continue to share special finds from our worldwide research.
