For the lover of music whether classical or 1920's jazz, the electric thrill experienced while listening to a Weber Maesto remains as exciting today as it was in the 1920's when the Maesto was first introduced. Consequently, astute connoisseurs of automated musical instruments around the world consider the Weber Maesto to be the most prized and prestigious orchestrion as well as an excellent investment!
The essence of a Weber Maesto is that it supurbly captures the life-like performance of a real orchestra through sophisticated pneumatic mechanisms and the exceptional musical arrangements of Gustav Bruder.
"In their day they were the TOP OF THE LINE - as, of course they are today with collectors" - Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments by Q. David Bowers.
"Thee is little doubt that the Weber Maestro Orchestrion is the most life-like of anything in its class of instrument ever perfected by man. This was, indeed, the aim of its German designers, and the fact that they succeeded in this effort can be attested by the many connoisseurs of automatic music machines who agree that there is simply nothing that can equal it ..."

"This instrument is considered by many to be the outstanding example ot the orchestrion builders of a bygone day, because it was built very late in the game, and every know device was incorporated to insure that it would resemble as closely as possible a human orchestra.
