The calliope is a musical instrument originally made of boat whistles or steam powered trains.
It is an instrument of very great power whose agreement is bad because of the heat of the steam.

Norman Baker's invention calliaphone uses whistles and compressed air. Of more modest power, the agreement is more stable. 

We have reconstructed a calliaphone that can be played as an organ with keyboard or sequencer driven as a barbaric organ.
