Word Roll

What is a WORD ROLL??? ... sounds like a scrabble game.

In fact,  some piano rolls were made with words written on the side so that you could sing along with the music. These are called word rolls. 
At the American Treasure Tour, we have over 300,000 pieces of original music.

Come hear our piano rolls play .... Make your reservation today! (610) 551-1629

Calliope

A Calliope is an automatic music machine mostly made and used in America before the advent of electricity used to play recorded music. These steam powered machines originally played music through train whistles. 

A true American Treasure and we have one at our tour.
Calliopes could be extremely loud and made mainly for outdoor use.  Our tour is SO HUGE, we have
one INSIDE.  Come hear it play!
