A wind organ is a musical instrument designed to be 'played' by the wind. Designs of wind organs vary depending on the artist constructing the organ. Some are based around hollow receptacles that sound as the wind blows across their mouths while others are constructed from taught metal wires that 'sing' when the wind blows against them, similar to the way wire fences vibrate in the wind.
