•I received 16 music rolls with my 1926 Tangley CA-43 calliope. On examination I find that they are all of the same music. They are "A 1 TR" rolls and have Barnum and Bailey's Favorite March, The Billboard March, Bombasto March, Repasz Band March, The Chariot Race March, and The Roxy March. [ Origin...

•Greetings my friends, I just wanted to tell you that the tune being played on the calliope at the fair during Mrs. Travers' childhood sequence in the Disney film, "Saving Mr. Banks", is the very popular waltz, "Estudiantina". Cheers, Andrew Lardieri Voorhees, New Jersey

•Several years back a friend who owns a Tangley Calliaphone was asked to play it in his home town's Fourth of July Celebration. He wanted to play the National Anthem at the end of the parade on the Tangley. Alas, no "A" Roll was available to him with that selection on it, so I punched him a copy. To...

•Hi Folks, Many years ago I designed and built a large trailer/wagon to house a Tangley calliope. Part of the design was a group of scrolls used to decorate it. I made molds from original carvings and then made a bunch of fiberglass parts from the molds. Take a look at the attached picture [below] a...

•To my knowledge a special "A" roll just for calliope use was never made. The calliope rolls were typically 58-note music rolls and the different makers of calliopes just tubed their calliope to play all the notes in the roll by teeing the missing notes to the next highest note for bass pipes or nex...

•Oops! Most calliopes by Tangley were 43 notes and other firms made a 53-note calliope. Don Teach Shreveport, Louisiana

•MMDers, A repro Tangley CA-43 made in the 1980s, I would guess, has recently come into the shop for refurbishing. The name plate says "The Calliope Works," but the manual with it is Stanoszek's 1979 building plans, so I am not sure it was built by him or somebody else. [ "The Calliope Works" is a t...

•The cracks in the brass may be stopped by drilling a small hole at the end of the crack, then silver soldering up the crack. The hole intercepts the crack and prevents further cracking, and is perhaps the most exacting part of the process, as sometimes it is difficult to find the exact end of the c...

•I am a member of the Erie Shrine and our unit has just refurbished our old 1912 43-note calliope. We had a MIDI controller installed so it can be played manually or automatically.

•Hey everyone, I am looking for solenoids to install in a calliope to operate with a MIDI system. I need 43 of them and not so expensive that I would have to take out a second mortgage on my house!

•I just got a Calliope 17-3/4" upright Trade Stimulator music box and I need advice and pictures on how the trade stimulator inside is supposed to work. I fear mine is missing pieces.

•Hi Group, I have been asked by a person, that does not have Internet, if parts for a Tangley calliope are available. He is rebuilding a gutted Tangley and would like to restore it as close to original as possible. He needs seven valves, the pneumatic stack, and the wires connecting the pneumatics t...
