This Caliola, an air driven wooden pipe calliope, is a reproduction of a Wurlitzer used in the early 1900’s. A unique circus band organ complete with a bass drum and a snare drum has a softer sound than the steam calliope.
These organs were used by amusement parks, circuses, skating rinks, carousels and as outdoor advertising to attract crowds with its beautiful tones and musical effects. It was made for Dr. Ted by the Stinson Organ Company of Ohio and still plays the original music!
