King Calliope of 1990s
By Richard Price

Dear MMD,  Can anyone out there tell me anything about the King
calliope?  I have one that is from the early 1990's (I was told).
It is very similar to a Tangley, with 43 notes, a keyboard and
player mechanism, and internal blower.  This one was in a 'circus
wagon' built onto the back of an old (1950s) pickup truck.  I have
not been able to find any other mention of the King Company or
King calliopes.  Thanks for your help.
