"The Sea Organ is a [pipe organ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gong) that has a set of 35 musically tuned tubes located underneath a set of [large marble steps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaside-pavilion) played by the sea waves. The movement of the sea pushes air through, and depending on the size and force of the wave, it produces a somewhat random but harmonic sound."
