About the Maker(s)

"Steamboat Ed" Haas [
Owner/operator of NMP Products, a small machine shop in Santa Rosa, CA. Steamboat Ed Haas brought the mutant vehicle Short John Silver and the 23ft steam launch Pegasus to the Faire in '07 and '08. For '09 he's cobbled up Calliopus Minimus, aka the RTTTL Calliope. Controlled via Basic Stamp and using a laptop for data entry, the calliope can convert any ringtone text file to a somewhat louder format.
