Figure 40. Welte catalogue page for Welte Style 7 and Style 8 Concert Orchestrions. The Style 7 Concert Orchestrion is the largest to play the 75 key “F” scale. It is an impressive instrument. The catalogue illustration is probably more representative of a Style 8 because of the larger roll frame shown, which would play the wider 120 key music roll. Also more pipework is visible in the front expression box and display than would be available for use by the 75 key scale.
