Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
The music machine featured on this CD is from the collection of Marion and Harvey Roehl who have spent a lifetime finding and restoring their collection. It was recorded by professional recording engineers in studio-like environments, and is of the highest commercial quality.

Product Description
Calliope music brings back the sound of the circus and carnival from days of old! Popular in the 'teens and 'twenties, every good circus had a shiny brass whistle calliope parading before the show to draw the crowds! The loud, sweet music captured everyone's attention and imagination!

And, yes, calliopes are still made today by Miner Manufacturing Company of Donnellson, Iowa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD!, November 28, 2001
By A Customer
Wow! this recording captures the real sound of an air calliope. I've heard many real calliopes in person and know how hard it must be to capture that sound! The quality is excellent - right down to the sound of the air escaping from each whistle. Great lively tunes. The noise of the blower that supplies the air to the machine is virtually non-existant (I've heard it on another recording and find it bothersome). All I hear are those beautiful, crisp, air powered whistles! A super professional recording.

2.0 out of 5 stars perfromance ok sound quality very bad, March 2, 2001
By robert kilbride (ft. lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews
The quality of the recording is horrible. The sound of the calliope is only slightly louder than the hiss. I don't understand how a modern recording could sound so bad. Many recordings from the 40's like Frank Sinatra sound much better. I only gave it 2 stars because the music is well played, it may be automatic however.
