Our special calliope was made by Miner Manufacturing. In addition to making several kinds of calliopes and vehicles, they make Otto Accordian One Man Band and popcorn wagons. The National Zoo in Washington, DC has one of their large popcorn wagons.

The sound guru, Bruce Kane, at Sterling Productions , recorded, mixed and mastered our CD. We think he produced the best recording of a calliope, ever.

Conastoga Buildings, New Holland, Pennsylvania
Where do you store a calliope in a 12 ft. tall trailer? Well, we had to have a special garage built. Conestoga builds post and frame garages and barns in the Mid-Atlantic states. We are delighted with the one they built for us.
