Calliope
By Fritz Gellerman

Monty Carroll's machine is not a calliope, it's a copy of a German band organ, much more complicated than a calliope. (Sorry, Bea.) A calliope has only one set of pipes, usually 43 or 44 in number, and is fully chromatic. Most band organs are not chromatic. A number of MBSI and AMICA members have built calliopes--Bob Edwards and myself among them.

Plans for building a calliope are available from Bob Stanoszek. His address is:

Robert M. Stanoszek
17641 Sagamore Road
Walton Hills, OH 44146.
