Sea Organ
On the coast of Croatia is a seemingly innocuous set of stairs leading down to the water. But, as the ocean rolls in, air is forced through the stairs, through pipes, making one of the world’s largest organs, and the only one played by the sea. Beethoven it is not, but the sound is very soothing. Follow the link for more info, but be sure to listen to them on the audio link below.
**Update**
Thanks to pancakeron for pointing out about the San Francisco version built in 1981
