His radio looks like one at the right in the first picture in www.radioheritage.com/radio-station-studios-in-the-1920s/

According to nyphil.org/explore/history "A media pioneer, the [New York] Philharmonic began radio broadcasts in 1922." Presumably Mengelberg was an enthusiast for radio. In the Washington Times. April 03, 1924, Image 24, right-hand column, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1924-04-03/ed-... the newspaper's music critic, William Moore, wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece beginning "A new day is dawning for the poor, overworked music critic. The time Is not far distant when no longer will he be compelled to personally attend three or four musical events each night, write his reviews, and catch the Bloodshot-and-Cinder for his suburban retreat." More seriously, he reviewed a WCAP broadcast of the New York Philharmonic conducted by Mengelberg using a crystal radio set he had built for 15 cents.

Delia Reinhardt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delia_Reinhardt_(soprano) with a player piano. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_piano "A player piano (also known as a pianola) is a self-playing piano, containing a pneumatic or electro-mechanical mechanism that operates the piano action via programmed music recorded on perforated paper, or in rare instances, metallic rolls, with more modern implementations using MIDI. The rise of the player piano grew with the rise of the mass-produced piano for the home in the late 19th and early 20th century. Sales peaked in 1924, then declined as the improvement in phonograph recordings due to electrical recording methods developed in the mid-1920s." This is a Knabe player piano. See www.gentilepiano.com/player.html for some pictures of one before and after restoration.

swanq, thanks for identifying the woman as well as the piano. We'll add that information to our catalog records.
