The Tangley Calliaphone built especially for riverboats is the Model CEA-43 Excursion Boat Special !
Almost every riverboat and showboat of any importance in the golden age of riverboating had a steam calliope to announce its’ arrival to port. The beautiful music could be heard for miles and is a major part of the romance associated with riverboating.
Steam calliopes are few and far between today due to the expense and liability of ownership (and lack of steam on boats!). The Tangley Calliaphone CEA-43 was designed to capture the loud, melodic sounds of the steamer, but is much more in tune and stays that way since it is air driven. It is a tried and proven instrument first produced nearly 20 years ago and is on board dozens of vessels around the world!
Modern electronics combined with Miner old fashioned craftsmanship produces a fantastic instrument that can be played by a skilled pianist or automatically via digital electronics! The keyboard and electronic automatic play feature can be located virtually in any location remote from the whistles. We can design and build the CEA-43 calliope for YOUR application! |
