  • I love your organ! It reminds me so much of something out of Disney World!

  • wonderful machine, keep the vids comming please

  • @KawhackitaRag Thank you for that detailed response! I sensed that Band Organs were vastly more refined than Calliopes. Now I know why. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

  • The average calliope of about 43 whistles is, volume-wise, about equivalent to some of the largest band organs of over 300 pipes! If you think a band organ is bad to have indoors, a calliope is worse!

  • @megaswenson Finally, most band organs typically use special rolls with special scales designed to imitate the different sections of a band, for example, in very large organs: bass, trombone, accompaniment (alto), trumpet (countermelody), melody, and piccolo. The rolls are arranged accordingly to sound similar to a band.

    Most calliopes, by contrast, play regular coin-piano and orchestrion rolls (such as A-rolls, APP-rolls, or O-rolls) and do not usually have special calliope "arrangements".

  • @megaswenson Calliopes typically have a single set of whistles (usually brass but sometimes wood), voiced on very high air pressure (occasionally, steam) and are typically fully chromatic. The average calliope only has about 43 to 58 whistles, sometimes more and sometimes less. Also, most calliopes have keyboards for hand-playing, and most band organs do not. Calliopes are traditionally used by circuses and on riverboats.

  • @megaswenson a band organ has many (often over 100) wooden pipes of different sounds voiced to imitate a brass band, and typically, only the largest band organs are chromatic (have all the sharps and flats). Band organs operate on medium-pressure air and were typically used to provide music for carousels and roller-skating rinks.

  • Amazing! What is the difference between a Band Organ and a Calliope?

    That must be a deafening thing to have in one's dining room, though.

  • love me 10der
