Genuine steam calliope or just recordings when compressed air was used? Speaking of different, have you been to The House on the Rock?

Old Pilgrimage joke. It was actually a 19th century band organ LP by Audio Fidelity recorded in the very early days. Incredible recording and no calliope involved, but I got a lot of ribbing about it. Music is really pretty good, but the recording and pressing are truly incredible. Rather listen to a band organ of this quality of recording than Pink Floyd on 8 track any day of the week.... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
