If it's and older instrument weren't they weltklang?

B&S followed on from Weltklang. But did a lot of work to improve and modernise the designs.

I'm not sure where the Cordera fits in, but it's probably a lot later and better than Weltklang.

seems like they're such a rare specialist item that putting a value on it might be difficult.
