Kroatien Bike Tour/ Zadar 3xPIP

The Sea Organ in Zadar, is an experimental musical instrument whose sounds are produced by the waves of the sea under large stone slabs.
Since the promenade of the old town was no longer a beautiful sight after the destruction of the Second World War. There was a project to redesign the promenade. The proposal for the sea organ was part of the project.

Under the sea level there are 35 tubes of different lengths and diameters. The tubes rise up under the concrete at a 20° angle, each opening into organ pipes of different pitches. Water is flushed into the tubes by the waves. As the water flows in and out, a sound is created in the organ pipes. This is how the sound is created. Depending on the period length and frequency of the waves, a melody is created.

Sea Organ became a tourist magnet and popular place for the population to stay.
