Cassady, All of the calliopes I've worked on, that play style "A"
nickelodeon rolls, have the bottom octave coupled. To do this or not
is your preference; just listen to the results and see which works
best.

As to rolls, there are rolls that were cut specifically for calliope.
A poorly arranged roll will sound terrible on any instrument, and
some [music] styles just don't sound right on a calliope. So do check
to see what kind of music you are playing.

I have extra "A" rolls made for calliope which I do not need. Let
me know if you'd be interested a few and I'll send you titles.
