Just to clarify, this is NOT a steam organ! A steam calliope is something completely different. Blowing steam through the wood pipes would most likely damage them. Otherwise, it's a nice fair organ.

The term 'steam organ' is clearly not a very clear description; it means that the bellows for the air to play the music were driven by some sort of steam engine e.g. a traction engine or fairground engine.
