  • Here is a nice 6ft Sohmer Welte Licensee that my father and I picked up in Rhode Island this past October. Manufactured in 1929, it sat unsold until 1932, when it received a new serial number and was sold then.
    Outside of the Welte Licensee system that has previously been rebuilt and needs much attention, the piano itself is otherwise in original condition outside of a touching up of the lacquer case that I recently completed.
    On my 36th birthday, I bring you "1930s Dance Medley No. 2." What a joy this piano is to play and what a wonderful tone it has. "The Soulful Sohmer" as they used to say.
    1.) My Silent Love
    2.) When We're Alone (Penthouse Serenade)
    3.) We Belong Together
    If you enjoy my channel performances and would like to help support my own piano playing or maintenance and preservation of these pianos, donations are always accepted and very much appreciated.

    A wonderful performance on your birthday. Beautiful soul-warming harmonies are so typical of the era.

    Happy Birthday from DownUnder in Melbourne. I really enjoy your playing. If you were around when this piano was made you would have been a roll recording artist I'm sure. More please.

      Why not still be a roll artist? euterpe rolls here in the netherlands can make new welte rolls from new performances.

      Very much appreciated! I've been meaning to upload this Medley for quite some time. The non-CZcams version also has "Isn't It Romantic?" weaved into it as well.
      I would have loved to have been a roll artist, alas I think maybe I was born in the wrong time period!

    Here's hoping that you had a very happy birthday & that you were spoilt rotten. The piano sounds amazing, much helped by your playing. Do you plan on rebuilding the player action yourself? It would be interesting to see a video of what needs doing to it. Take care my friend. All the best from Chris (Over the pond).

      Hi Chris! Good to hear from you. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Nothing crazy but a nice start to another year.
      The Welte was rebuilt awhile ago. Not sure exactly when but everything still seems to be in decent condition. I suspect more so than anything that it just needs to be dialed in. Right now it's playing too loud in the bass and too quiet in the treble. Hopefully within the upcoming month, it will be in better working condition. It's a wonderful instrument.
      Hope the New Year has been treating you well, my friend.
