Piano Plays Both Duo-Art & Welte Licensee Rolls
By Piotr Barcz

I'm looking for the name of this piano roll of which a segment
appears in this Duo-Art Bulletin roll [of July, 1929]:

Attachment thumbnail Steinway Duo-Art Player Piano, unusual If possible I am also wondering if anyone happens to have a MIDI emulation scan of the roll. The video portrays one of the craziest reproducing pianos: a dual player system that can play both Duo-Art and Welte Licensee rolls. I have been wondering for a while what happened to this piano after the video was made, if there are any more pianos like it, and who owned it or owns it now. Does anybody know? Does this piano even exist anymore? Piotr Barcz [ The song is "My Sin". Compare with performances [ at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1gOpVsDoUw
