I saw this High Tide Organ in Blackpool in Lancashire in UK on the South Promenade.

| High Tide Organ, Blackpool |
This instrument plays as the swell of water at high tide pushes air up its eight pipes attached to the sea wall which causes the eighteen organ pipes to sound. The organ must be about 80 feet high. As the tides occur twice a day at an interval of about 12.5 hours duration therefore the high tides are at different times each day. The organ starts playing couple of hours before the high tide and continues till a couple of hours after high tide. Rougher the sea higher the organ sounds therefore the high tide organ is the manifestation of the sea. It has been designed by Liam Curtin and John Gooding.
Blackpool is a seaside town in North West England known for its beaches, trams, pebbled streets and night life. I will write more on Blackpool later.

Well, this is a big one musical instrument. Thanks for sharing. There are bigger instruments in the world. Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ is known as the most powerful musical instrument. World’s largest saxophone, a woodwind musical instrument, is 7 feet tall and weighs 45 pound.
