The public nicknamed the instrument &#8220;orchestrion,&#8221; because it successfully imitated a many-voiced orchestra. Since that time the term <em>orchestrion<\/em> has become synonymous with virtually any automatic musical instrument attempting to imitate a small to large orchestral ensemble.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cOrchestrion Welte Style 3\u201d is a large mechanical automatic instrument that produces the performance of an entire orchestra. It has an entire mechanical pipe organ with 180 metal and wooden pipes, as well as drums of different sizes, triangles and other sound-making devices built into its oak cabinet with architectural elegance. Owning a fine Welte Orchestrion was a status symbol of its time, sought after by royalty, wealthy industrialists and fine commercial establishments alike.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1900, Germany play pause stop mute unmute max volume re [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":890,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"Chinese Simplified - Min-On Website","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.min-on.org\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
