Upload 2010 07 The Makers Dozen At Maker Faire Det Hornmachine

Dana Dolfi's people-stopping calliope is made from ship and train air horns. It won't be hard to find The Great American Horn Machine at Maker Faire Detroit. It's really loud. The horn machine can play a range of 24 notes through a MIDI controller. Dana is a pipe fitter/plumber by trade and a collector and builder for fun.

I’d pay $$$$$$ to have this guy come out and blast my neighbors house until it implodes. He really should run a revenge service.

Hi Mark! Maker Faire Detroit is going to be awesome. Perfect weather and the outstanding Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village as well. I’ll be working the Make Magazine table on Saturday and Sunday. Please come to the Faire. Drop by and say Hi.

There was plenty of advance notice. Heck, we bought our tickets a couple of months ago. Much cheaper if you’re a member of the museum, BTW. And you get to drop by and wander around the museum or Greenfield Village any time you want.

My family will be there!

Are you going to be there both days Mark? I only saw you on the schedule for Sunday, i’ll be there on Sat with the family and would love to say hi.

I’ve been excited since I heard about this (on BB) many months ago! My family is probably getting tired of me telling them how many days (and recently, hours) until Maker Faire Detroit kicks off, but they’re all going (wife + 2 daughters). Less than 72 hours to go! :D

Why wasn’t this vuvuzela at the world cup?

Mark, a little more advance publicity would be greatly appreciated. Will there be another one in the Big D in the next couple years?

I’d like to attend but I can’t afford $28 for a one-day ticket. Yeesh!
