Augustinermuseum: "Das Geheimnis der Aufnahmen für Welte-Mignon"

Vortrag in der Welte-Ausstellung

Am letzten Tag der Ausstellung "Automatische Musikinstrumente aus
Freiburg in die Welt - 100 Jahre Welte-Mignon" im Augustinermuseum
lüftet Professor Ludwig Peetz das Geheimnis der einzigartigen Welte-
Aufnahmetechnik: Der Vortrag findet dort am Sonntag, 8. Januar, um
10.30 Uhr statt.

Im Gegensatz zum 1904 patentierten Wiedergabeverfahren hat die Firma
M. Welte & Söhne ihr Aufnahmeverfahren streng geheimgehalten. In den
letzten Jahren sind verschiedene Theorien darüber diskutiert worden,
die in Forschungskreisen zum Teil heftig umstritten sind. Eine der am
weitesten ausgearbeiteten aber auch am meisten umstrittenen Theorien
ist die sogenannte "High-Tech-Variante" von Professor Peetz. Anhand
eines Funktionsmodells und eines Oszilloskops stellt sie der
ausgewiesene Welte-Experte hier vor.
Der Eintritt kostet 5, ermäßigt 3 Euro einschließlich
Ausstellungseintritt.

The body of the posting would translate thus:

Augustinermuseum: "The Secret of the Recordings for Welte-Mignon"

Lecture at the Welte Exhibition

On the final day of the exhibition "Automatic Musical Instruments from
Freiburg to the World -- 100 Years of Welte-Mignon" in the Augustinermuseum,
Professor Ludwig Peetz airs the secret of the unique Welte recording
technique. The lecture takes place there on Sunday, January 8, at 10:30
a.m.

In contrast to the transcription process that was patented in 1904, the firm
of M. Welte & Sons held their recording process in strict secrecy. In
recent years various theories about the process have been discussed,
theories which have been debated, sometimes strenuously, in research
circles. One of the most well-developed, but also most debated, theories is
the so-called "High-Tech-Version" of Professor Peetz. With the aid of a
functioning model and an oscilloscope, the acknowledged Welte expert will
present it here.

The entry fee is 5, reduced 3 Euro including exhibition entry.

(This last about the entry fee is not clear to me, but I am not going
anyway)

Professor Peetz shared a lot of his research with me and we did share ideas. However, it was his project from the beginning. My contribution was strictly in...
