The 37 note American Queen Calliope...a calliope is also known as a steam organ or steam piano.
How do you pronounce calliope....“call-I-O-pee” or “cally-ope.” Either is correct, but, in 1890 the popular magazine Reedy’s Mirror published a short poem attempting to clear up this pronunciation problem.
Proud folk stare after me,
Call me Calliope;
Tooting joy, tooting hope,
I am the calliope.
