This article about the Steinway Duo-Art at University of Illinois
Music and Performing Arts Library recently popped up in my feed:

I find it interesting to "see" player and reproducing pianos through
the general public's eyes in newspaper articles such as this.  And
how the information is "not quite" correctly reported.

While I knew of Stanford's piano and collection I was unaware of UI's
Steinway.  I'm glad funds were made available for its restoration and
that the rolls are considered part of the curated library collection.
Now to get the librarians and curators to be more knowledgeable and
connected with all the resources available in the mechanical music
community.

Are there any other universities or colleges that have a reproducing
piano or fully functioning player piano and roll collection?  What about
other mechanical instruments that are part of a university collection?
