== Mechanical organs == {{ multiple image|perrow=3|total_width=500 | image1 = Posetiivinsoittaja organ grinder closeup.jpg | caption1 = [[Barrel organ]] | image2 = Welte Cottage Orchestrion Style 3, Kelvingrove museum, Glasgow.jpg | caption2 = [[Orchestrion]] from Germany | image3 = Carousel Band Organ Wurlitzer (Cultural Education Center, NY).jpg | caption3 = [[Fairground organ|Band organ]] from USA | image4 = Berger-markt-nacht002.jpg | caption4 = [[Fairground organ]] | image5 = Draaiorgel-de-bloemenmeid.jpg | caption5 = [[Street organ|Dutch street organ]] | image6 = Organ At Great Dorset Steam Fair.jpg | caption6 = [[Dance organ]] from Belgium }} [[Mechanical organ]]s include: * [[Barrel organ]]: made famous by [[organ grinder]]s in its portable form, the larger form often equipped with keyboards for human performance * [[Organette]]: small, accordion-like instrument manufactured in New York in the late 1800s * Novelty instruments or various types that operate on the same principles. These pipe organs use a ''piano roll'' player or other mechanical means instead of a keyboard to play a prepared song: ** [[Orchestrion]] ** [[Fairground organ]] (or [[band organ]] in the USA) ** [[Dutch street organ]] ** [[Dance organ]] The wind can also be created by using pressurized steam instead of air. The steam organ, or [[calliope (music)|calliope]], was invented in the United States in the 19th century. Calliopes usually have very loud and clean sound. Calliopes are used as outdoors instruments, and many have been built on wheeled platforms.
