this one is different to the american one- it uses the air pressure generated by the waves rather than piping the sound of the waves themselves. there was (is?) a wave organ in liverpool in the uk which uses wave pressure like this. these types of instruments date back to the renaissance at least…

Sounds like the SF organ should be considered the first of its kind. Somebody should write to the folks at OddMusic.com. I’ll look into the history of the SF organ and put up a post on it later in the day if I find enough info and (hopefully) a picture.

actually there’s a pipe organ operated by the sea in san francisco. it was made in the 60′s by some artists but not maintained and stopped working in the 70′s. but it was first

How long has that one been there? Cus there is one in San Fransisco near the old Marina Safeway that has been there atleast since the 70′s. In fact the one in SF is made from old grave stones and other cemetary stones, the inscriptions are still legible on someofthe rocks.
