Re: Calliope, anybody?

We considered an (air rather than steam) calliope for our air cannon a few years ago, and decided that with the number of pipes and controls needed, it was much simpler to go the electronic route. We found a device online (sparkfun?) that was essentially an MP3 player controlled over a serial line. Put that into a car stereo amplifier, and add speakers.
