Unique Windchime
This Wind Organ at the end of the Nolledijk replaced the original one that was destroyed by the storm in 1976. This sculpture consisting of thirty vertically bamboo tubes with holes which will give sound. It is a wind instrument played by the wind. There were three windchimes in the world but this is the only one that still exists. What an experience to be in the middle of this windchime with closed eyes and listening to the sound.

Just walk over
A very nice kind of music when the wind blows. Its a kind of naturel music thats blowing true the pipes when there is wind. If there is no wind, no music, so you need some good heavy wind.

Exceptional
Twenty bamboo pipes vertically placed at the end of the Nolledijk form the windorgan, part of a project called Mass Moving initiated by Belgian artist Opstaele. The original 1975 organ consisted of 50 pipes, but was washed away by stormy waves in the 1980s. As the wind almost always blows at this place, the organ is always 'played'. Strange sonorous sounds can be heard and the tunes are always different. Exceptional experience.
