This is the Indiana University Calliope (aka: IUPUI Calliope). This was shot at the Indiana State Fair in 2006, with Dave Morecraft playing "Back Home Again In Indiana." It originally came from the showboat MAJESTIC, and is believed to be the last Thomas J. Nichol calliope ever built; possibly in 1923.

sounds nice but its loud, I have seen it on the tv at Three Rivers Festival in fort wayne indiana, they said its one of only a hand full of origional ones I think. Unless perdue has one as well, all I know is that the calliope came from one of the universitys in indiana south of fort wayne.

Of course it does, but Larry plays slower. Look at your vid shot in 1985
