January 2022; This amazing instrument has many more features then the original Weber Co,
                            WEBER "MAESTO" ORCHESTRION
​                                The latest additions in 2021 are: 
* A
 12 note Glockenspiel, originally installed to be used with the Wurlitzer                  (Philipps) PianoMandolin & PianOrchestra music which uses this 12 NOTE          Glockenspiel extensively, but because it seems to add to the Weber music I           have included it on the YouTube video below.
* Automated Violin with working pneumatics and bow wheel and illuminated               when the actual Violin PIPES play. This violin is visible through the window         in center. see above picture. Also when door in front of violin is opened                 when instrument is playing violin sound is more clearly heard expression
* Rank of Trumpet & Saxophone pipes as used in the original Weber Maesto            instruments and completed all of the Maestos large assortment of instrument

Please view the latest YOUTUBE VIDEO below showing the violin playing also several  more Youtube videos showing the instrument at various stages of it creation.

A little You Tube video made Oct 2021 after the latest editions of a real VIOLIN below
The violin is animated to play the notes and rotation bow wheel when the actual violin pipes are playing inside the instrument, much like the saxophone on a dance organ operates then the saxophone pipes play. This really adds to the visual experience when hearing and watching this instrument play along with the motion scene which depicts the first flight of the LZ1 Airship of Count Fernand von Zeppelin on Lake Constance Bavaria.

Sorry sound is not the best as it was recorded by my smart phone so it is not very good compared to hearing the instrument live. Also several other YouTube videos that show the instruments many features etc. Please feel free to contact me with any questions etc.

Two more great songs from the hand of Gustav Bruder in 1920 created especially for the Weber company and of course the MAESTO. This is also a little tour showing the motion scene which I made to coumarate the flight of Count Zeppelins LZ-! on lake Constance near Friedrichshafen Germany I found the picture at the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen Sept 2019 and being a Zeppelin fan decided this would be perfect for this very special instrument
                                           Oct 2021
                          Latest edition of a real violin
               which operates when the violin Pipes play       
  Giving another great visible effect to this already amazing                                         instrument

*Special 13 note Glockenspiel C to C to play with the Wurlitzer PianOrchestra music files.
*Oct 2021 a real violin was installed which turns on when the Violin Pines inside the instrument play which gives a wonderful visual effect.

   The Music included with this instrument
The music is controlled by a state of the art Broteck MIDI player system which features a wireless tablet operation allowing the instrument to be controlled from 30ft away.
​The midi files contain not only hundreds of Weber Maesto music copied from the original 1920's paper rolls, many created by Gustave Bruder especially for the Maesto but also the following instruments; Song lists include roll number and playing time:

                   Click;   HERE TO SEE MAESTO SONGS TITLES;


​                      Below are a few pictures of the Brotech Electronics MIDI system
Pictures below are the addition of the Trumpet/Saxophone rank of pipes, Special to the Weber Maesto scale. 
Pictures Below show the Swell shutters on the lower front door section, as well as the creation of the latest edition to the motion scene a "flying witch on a broom" as well as a back view of the motion scene to show how simple it all is with just one motor to operate the Zeppelin up and down and the two sail boats racing out in the lake, Balloon race is another motor which is speed controllable as is the windmill. 
Also pictures show how the entire front comes off as one section on wheels, making tuning and maintenance a breeze.

Also shown is the creation of the 13 note C to C bell unit (Decan Metal Bells) which is intended to be used with the Wurlitzer Mandolin PianOrchestra music but can also be turned on,  so that when the Maesto (also Welte, Link etc.)  Flutes are off the bells are on, as you can hear in the above samples of the Weber Maesto Music it sometimes works and sometimes not, but does add to music that has been heard many times for a little variety. :-))
and finally the lid which goes over the instrument section with it's swell shutter.
Here is a video taked Jan 1 2023 to show how much work has been done in 2022 which includes violin, trumpet/sax rank and now accordion. The accordion is also available with the instrument at extra cost of $4,000.00
                 Price $65,000.00 USA dollars.
