Seek Calliope Plans
By Richard Day

Wanting to build a calliope.  Where can I find a set of suitable wooden
or metal pipes?  This is an air powered calliope, not steam.

Also where can I get catalogs for pneumatic and/or MIDI parts?

Are there any books out there that describe how these things (calliopes
and or band organs) are put together?  I am a piano technician and know
a little about how these instruments work but have never gone deeply
into the subject.  I am a good woodworker and have a relatively
complete shop.
