Re: Another Steam Calliope
By Peter Smakula

For many years there has ben a steam calliope at the Cuyahoga
     Valley Festival near Akron, Ohio. It's a wood burner and has a well
     worn, kind of beat up keyboard, that actuates notes with wires. Tuning
     is done previous to a performance, but I forget if it was with a
     wrench or a hammer! Andy Cohen, a fairly well known local folk
     musician, is the guy who has played it. The steam and the smoke tend
     to block the sky out quite a bit when playing, but they are a lot of
     fun to hear.
