Routing The Hoses in a Calliope
By Larry Claus

I have an air calliope in which the valves on the manifold, and
pipes, are laid out similar to a Tangley (though the pipes are
definitely not Tangley -- more like a Cozatt).  It was a real basket
case and seems to be a very modified "mutt" that doesn't match up
to any other calliope I have found on the internet.

I am now at the stage of retubing it, [installing hoses] from the
valves on the manifold to the pipes.  My question directed toward
anyone who has done this is, what is the best and most efficient order
or sequence to replace these tubes to avoid a difficult, tangled mess?
