Duo-Art is the self-playing system of the Aeolian Company which also claims to reproduce the original playing of the great pianists and composers of the time. This piano by the American brand George Steck from around 1933 is the so-called pedal-electric version of this Duo-Art system. The piano is beautifully preserved in its original condition and still plays a little. It needs restoration to be fully usable again.
