    "​Introduction J.D Philipps und Söhne mirrored in Frankfurt what Welte und Söhne were doing in Freiburg-im-Breisgau. Johann Daniel Philipps had set up in business on his own in 1886, having split from his existing partner, as a manufacturer of orchestrions and pianos, later taking his sons into the family business. The firm was a very large one; by 1910 it had manufactured forty-seven different models of orchestrion, twelve different electrical pianos, twelve player pianos, seven expression pianos, and even a roll-playing piano and harmonium combination for cinemas, not to mention its normal pianos and harmoniums, and it was introducing five models of the new Duca, a fully automatic reproducing piano, on to the market. ",
    "​ The first recordings for the Duca took place in late 1908, implying that the instrument was ready for general sale by 1909, which makes it the third and last of the early German reproducing piano systems to be put on sale. As was the practice at Hupfeld, the recordings made by pianists were used not only for the full reproducing pianos, in this case the Duca, but also for the various expression and normal player pianos which the company manufactured. By the time the Duca came on to the market, Welte was already installing its reproducing system into upright pianos, and it is likely that the Duca cabinet model, seen at the top of this page, was simply one of a number of variants produced at roughly the same time, and did not precede the internal players, as was the case with the Welte-Mignon. "
