This handmade calliope was part of the Minnie Thompson Agricultural Museum in Stratford, Ontario Canada. It was used in all the parades back in the day ... and its pipe blasts scared the hell out of my three-year-old son!

Hi Chic - The museum is closed but I believe all the exhibits are in storage somewhere waiting for the right person to reopen the wonderful showcase. Sadly, the Shakespeare Festival (where I worked for four years as an actor) is closed this summer due to covid.
