We are nearing completion of the restoration of this unique Blüthner–Welte piano. Bearing the serial number 99540, BL1, it represents the very first instrument on which the Blüthner–Welte collaboration was ever tried in 1919. The design ist very interesting, much better than others, but even more challenging during restoration. Recordings to follow soon.

Unknown artist - who can help?
We have this wonderful painting, showing a lady in a red dress at a square piano. It is said to have been hidden for decades in a Bavarian castle. Does anybody know the Danish sounding artist 'A. Daustrup'?

Another great find: A 1925 Kaim Popper Stella piano...
Stella reproducing pianos are extremely rare. We already have one, fully restored. Now we have found this late 1925 Kaim Popper Stella reproducing piano, in a 100% original condition. It might even still play - we will check asap. Kaim (of Kirchheim, close to Stuttgart) is a forgotten, but high quality piano brand, known for a very beautiful and rich tone. The Stella mechanism is extremely well designed - all parts are thoroughly labeled.

Just arrived: 1906 Berdux Concert Grand Piano...
Berdux is one of those brands that is almost forgotten today—yet at the time it was among the leading manufacturers in Europe. These instruments were built in Munich, on Landsberger Street. The Berdux grands and uprights from this era were known for their outstanding craftsmanship and tone. This concert grand piano (2.30m) has an especially large soundboard, which contributes to the richness of tone. Waiting to find a new home to get played.

Discovered for the first time: Original Hupfeld care set...
However we have seen so many Hupfeld player pianos already, this is the first time, we have discovered a complete set containing the manufacturer’s original care accessories for a Hupfeld Tri-Phonola Piano from the 1920s. Included are special tools, oil (with Hupfeld name on it), grease, and even a small vial of mercury. Amazing.

Sensational Discovery: Largest Popper Stella roll collection...
Many years we had been looking for Popper Stella reproducing rolls, ending up with ca. 25 rolls up to now, with some great recordings by e.g. Roessel and Grünfeld. And then this. A piano-roll collection straight from a first owner: 65 original and nearly unplayed Popper Stella rolls. These rolls will allow us to significantly expand our research on this fourth German reproducing-piano system. Popper Stella is especially interesting because of the connection Welte-Popper. We’ll soon be making recordings of these rolls on our restored Popper Stella piano — and producing emulations based on the scans. Today is a great day.

Just released: An amazing book on Érard...
The Érards are essential to the development of the piano. Alain Roudier is the author and co-author of numerous works on instrument making, particularly focusing on the Erard family. 'Les Trois Erard' represents the culmination of his research on this distinguished family of instrument makers. So far just in French - but still worth reading. It is available here: https://www.thebookedition.com/fr/les-trois-erard-p-415743.html
