I completed my Steam Calliope this summer. This is a 10 note mounted on my Beckmann forward end.This operates using MIDI controller(hands free) or a keyboard ...
I have sold one to a fellow steamboater down south and building another one now for my 2nd steam boat paddle wheeler which will host 21notes.

Aren't these things prohibited by the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty?

Much better tone than I am used to hearing from steam units. Good job.

This is Annie my homemade riverboat. Has a 61 note calliope. The calliope runs off air since we don't have steam. Uses a hot tub blower ands a midi controller like Kens.

There's a more detailed written description on the "classifieds" page of the International Steamboat Society website as noted below.
