The Sea organ is an architectural object located in Zadar, Croatia and an experimental musical instrument which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps.[1] The waves create somewhat random but harmonic sounds. The device was made by the architect Nikola Bašić as part of the project to redesign the new city coast (Nova riva), and the site was opened to the public on 15 April 2005[2] .

We have a Gamelan at York University although I've never seen it played.

Apparently, its considered a single instrument even though it has multiple players.

It's not a video but I was given this as a gift when I opened my Guitar shop. It's a late 1800's/early 1900's 6 string Charango. It's not for sale but it does serve as a great conversation piece in the shop!
