The roll in question is Welte 494, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13,

recorded in 1905.



The origination of the MIDI file is interesting: Zoltan Janosy did this

in 1994 as a research project at the Technical University of Budapest.

Rolls came from the collection of 2000 at the Hungarian Academy of

Sciences, scanned optically and expression then simulated using Welte

details from Hans W. Schmitz.

This Mason & Hamlin came up in both the Houston and the Southwest Michigan

Craigslists.  The piano is the same, the description identical, but there

are many different pictures between the two listings:
