Clown and Midway Calliope Music Vol. 1
Product Description Clown and Midway Calliope Music brings back the wonderful sounds of the air calliope as used in many circuses and carnivals prior to WWII!! Professionally recorded, a perfectly playing Tangley Calliaphone calliope believed to have been once owned by the Ringling Bros. circus automatically plays these great tunes. You can smell the popcorn and cotton candy as the lively music takes you to the circus! Produced by Marion Roehl Recordings - America's oldest and best source of a complete line of calliope, carousel and player piano music. About the Artist The Tangley Calliaphone calliope was the most popular brand of air calliopes built. Calliopes were used by circus sideshows and in their street parade, carnival midways, or by many businesse including Nehi Soda who wanted to promote their product. The loud, happy music drew the attention of all within earshot and the name emblazoned on the wagon or truck containing the calliope was etched forever in the mind of the onlooker. Far more popular than it's cousin the steam calliope, the air calliope produces sweet, melodious music that is wonderfully in-tune. Production ceased on the old Tangley in about 1932, but a beautiful duplicate has been manufactured by Miner Manufacturing Co., Inc.
