Hi! I love your channel! Thank you for all that you share. I'm a bit confused by the title. Was this built by Popper and Welte, or is welt a model or style name? And you mentioned Popper xylophone. Are you describing the entire instrument, or did they actually make their own xylophones? I never knew there were so many vinal records made of these things. Thank you again very much.
@@SuperUtterChaos This instrument was made by Popper. "Welt-Piano" was only the name of the line of orchestrions. It means world in German. Probably to make it sound more fancy. I was talking about the xylophone included in the orchestrion, they did not make or sell standalone xylophones.
I also love how these arrangers don't just use everything all at once all the time, but use the various instruments very juditiously. Very nice! Thanks again.
