Day 22 - Croatia (Sea Organ)

From mother nature herself, today's instrument is the Sea Organ!  From the website about 10 weird instruments I came to know about the ultimate water instrument, a musical pipe organ that is played by the sea!  The SEA ORGAN, or the Wave Organ.  There is a similar instrument created at the Golden Gate National Park edge.






"Waves create random harmonic sounds by way of tubes of varying size located underneath the structures. As the waves move in and out of these tubes the air likewise is pushed in and out of the tubes creating random sounds that are heard through openings on the surface / walkways of the structure. Like The Aeolian Harp this 
instrument's music is truly a composition created solely by nature."

This 40-day Virtual World Tour of Music correlates with the World Music House kickstarter crowdfund. (Click the orange words for more details!)
