New musical instruments #1:

THE NUCLEAR POWERED STEAM ORGAN/Calliope

by Joel Sattler

Build a steam organ a thousand feet tall, powered by the steam exhaust of a nuclear power plant.

People would be able to hear it from miles away.

The resultant sound would be so powerful and shrill, the organist would have to sit in a sound proof booth to play the organ.

Otherwise, his ears would burst and his face would melt.

Also, anyone within a quarter-mile of the organ would have to wear ear protectors.

Roll over, Sebastian. Dig these whistles and hoots!
