Artizan "Air Calio" Calliope at DeBence Museum
By Bruce Pier

Martin Anderson wrote of the Artizan Air Calio in the DeBence
Collection.  Jake had obtained it from Larry Givens when his collection
was disbursed.  Larry, I believe, bought it from Bud Horstman, who was
a band organ repairman in Pittsburgh.  The instrument had been the
property of Kennywood Park.

There is a picture of it on page 145 of "Kennywood, Roller Coaster
Capitol of the World", by Charles J. Jacques, Jr.
