Pratt breaks out this calliope, as well as some other individual steam whistles, every New Year's Eve. You can play a keyboard that is hooked up to the calliope if you want, but, as you have probably noticed, the whistles are a bit out of tune.

Aw wow, that’s pretty cool. The neat things you come across on your adventures. Thanks for sharing this Matt.
Agreed Dorinda! That is pretty darn cool…even if it is a bit out of tune. :)
Wow, steam used to be such an important part of NYC’s infrastructure, I think they still use it pretty extensively. I was surprised that it was still used today. But what a fun instrument, but you’re right, Matt, it needs tuning!!
