Subject: Help!

Maybe you can help us. We purchased an antique player grand piano which was supposed to have been made in the early 1900's for the royalty of Germany, supposedly one of only two ever made at that time. It has printed in front of it, "Hupfeld, Phonola, C-Ronisch". The signature handwritten inside looks like "Limbach"; it's hard to read.

The length of the player piano is 80 inches; it is a plain black high gloss finish, the tracking bar has 100 holes. It came with 65 rolls; not sure if they're original rolls (they each came with their own printed boxes though) and the paper is an oldish colored dirty white. This piano was rebuilt in l986.

Do you have any info you might be able to share, or would you happen to know who we can contact for such info? Any help will be greatly appreciated. We're also thinking of selling this as we really don't have room for this in my home. Would you happen to know what we should ask for it? Thank you so much.
