Or a player piano - I've not been able to get hold of any Nancarrow on player-pianos, but I've heard them, and they're a great deal better to my mind than, say, Joanne McGregor's renditions. One of the interesting things about Nancarrow, and also my experience, is that the player-piano pieces are designed with the fallibility of the instrument and also the mechanised nature of player-pianos in mind, rather than the hyper-complexity more common to a Szymanovsky or somesuch.
