(video opens in Youtube)

The legs of these stacked tables have been cut, hammered and welded to create organ pipes. Air is blown down the pipes from a fan inside the table tops. Each of the twelve cut legs plays a different note of the chromatic scale.

Three stacks of tables converted to organ pipes exist. The second and third stacks play respectively a B♭7 chord and four notes tuned very closely together so as to create beats when sounded.
