WELTEMAX
The WelteMax Effect
What is WelteMax?
WelteMax started out as a private pianola collection focused on superb musical performance. The spirit with which the collection was brought together was not only to enjoy these wonderful pieces of industrial history, but more so to explore the great amount of musical possibilities. The main focus of WelteMax is not so much the total restoring of an instrument, but the fine-tuning. A good example of this focus by WelteMax is the excellent fine tuning of The Welte-Mignon.
