    "​ The immense success of the Welte-Mignon system amongst artists and audiences alike encouraged the Welte Company to transfer the principle of the performance-reproducing piano to the organ. The result was the Welte-Philharmonie organ, which was premiered at the 1911 Turin World Exhibition held between 29 April and 31 October 1911. ",
    "​ As was being achieved with the piano-based Welte-Mignon system, Welte-Philharmonie organs offered the possibility of reproducing performances by well-known organists of the day. Owners of these organs could purchase music played by renowned artists for enjoyment in their luxurious residences in true-to-life quality. "

    "​  ... This piano technology  [Welte-Mignon system] was adapted to the Welte-Philharmonie organ (known as the Philharmonic in the USA) in the ensuing years, and a recording organ was built in Freiburg. ",
    "​ The Welte-Philharmonie was first displayed before a public audience in November 1911 at the World Exhibition in Turin, Italy. The company successfully went on to market player-organs and cinema organs and, when that market contracted during the 1930s, church organs. Between 1912 and 1930 the company issued paper-based punched music roll recordings of performances by the great organists of the day and sold them with considerable commercial success. ",
    "​ As luck would have it, a Welte Philharmonie organ recording device surfaced in the USA around 1990: probably that used in the company's recording studios in New York, it now forms an integral part of the collection of the Seewen Museum of Music Automatons [Museum für Musikautomaten, Seewen]. "
