National Calliope, Model RA - 128 Or A - 943 43 - Note.
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:4306672 |
The National Calliope was a competitor to Tangley and the National Brand is a seemingly scarce find. It is said that Q. David Bowers (Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments) has stated “National instruments were very well built and were of exceptional pure tone”. This would mean the harmonics were not raspy and were of great quality.
This Calliope has had multiple owners through the years. It is in need of restoration. I have the paperwork of current owners purchase in 2008. You will see the trailers exterior condition of now compared to condition of 2008. Current condition is (weathered) shape. The musical piece needs restoration.
Please contact me with any questions you may have.Trailer is 14ft long double axel...
