The following is a link to a YouTube video I came across that is
of an Aeolian player organ located somewhere in Italy:

Does anyone know the exact location of this instrument, its opus
number, and where it was used originally?
Thanks, all.

[ played by Alfred Hertz for the Aeolian company, is reproduced with
[ a roll dating back to the era of the 1914 organ. The console is
[ temporarily connected to a Tamburini organ of 1954 because the
[ Aeolian wind chests are being restored. In the video are panoramic
[ shots in the workshop while Alexander works on the construction
[ of a windchest."
