Where can I buy a Steam Calliope

[riverexplorer]

@relaxingmusic101 Try putting steamcalliope in your search engine. Morecraft Manufacturing are the only builders left in the world of authentic steam calliopes.

I went to the French Quarter today. It echoes throughout the place and sounds great! :) The Natchez looked great as well, all decked out in Christmas decorations!!! Great job!!!

Now that's the first steam organ I've seen lighting up.

Wonderful job, Travis.

And its a great way to steam the wrinkles out of your clothes too! Makes laundry day much more enjoyable.

I've always wanted to see and hear this Calliope on the Natchez. I play a similar one in Melbourne Australia. Love the lights, that really adds another dimension to it. Great music, many thanks.

[bubbbs2]

can u put a video of that one up here sometime? I know us calliope lovers would love to see it!

[doviejames]

totally, completely, excellent! why do i feel 5 years old when i hear this music?

[mortson978]

My granny once asked me: What is is it with you men, and steam?

I still dont know, but this is great music.

[zozey1231]

This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing ever.

[riverexplorer]

Thanks...I feel the same way when I play them!!!!

[MaxInterjects]

@riverexplorer Been a lover of steam calliopes since I was 6 years old, man! Theyre the coolest!

Never much liked those electric pneumatic ones tho...too boring

[artofnick]

@zozey1231 actually it looks pretty hot! wakka wakka!

[Mattexmo]

We need more of this Calliope! Please.

[riverexplorer]

There are many videos of this instrument on here...search Natchez Calliope and I am sure you fwill find a bunch of them! There are quite a fw really good wideos with Debbie Fagiano and Capt. Clarke "Doc" Hawley playing it. I was a sub during an out of town trip. They are the regulars!

Yogi yogi bear!

[soia76]

this is better then press one for english

[robertgift]

How fun. Love the colored lights indicating the notes.

Why is the sound so far off from the video?

Here, it matters.

[riverexplorer]

I think the delay has something to do with the camera I had back then. Because many of my videos shot with the Nicon had the same problem.

[TheFunktasm]

I lol'd heartily, what a great instrument!

[acoustics101]

My wife, son and I were on a dinner cruise on the Natchez at the last Tall Stacks in Cincinnati. I wanted to see the calliope, but this deck was off limits at the time. We still got to enjoy the music and the echoes it made under the bridges.

[tugboatannie]

I thought DOC Holiday was the callipopist... He had a CD out.. Love the calliope music

[pianomanthree16]

You're probably thinking of Capt. Clarke "Doc" Hawley. He was the first master on the Str. Natchez and to this day still gives calliope "concerts."

[tugboatannie]

Yep, that's the guy, I knew the minute I wrote that Holiday, I was t totally wrong.. I met him several times down through the years.

He is a member of the Sons and Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen...so am I..

[myhasaschi]

I saw natchez it is it entant itself with the other end of the city it is super

[doctorj2u]

That sound brings back memories of my youth. We couldn't see the boats but you could hear the calliope. Thanks for posting!
