Step 1

The main framework consists of a lightweight, cantilevered cedar platform designed to flex with the tree trunk rather than resist it. Heavy-duty flexible mountings ensure the structure remains stable while allowing for natural sway during high winds.

Step 2

Fabricate the musical element by harvesting fallen hardwood branches and hollowing them out to create custom organ pipes of varying lengths. Each pipe is precision-tuned using a chisel to adjust the internal air column resonance and achieve a specific musical note.

Step 3

Install a series of brass-hinged wind-catchers on the perimeter that act as valves, directing breeze flow into the timber pipe array. These collectors are adjustable, allowing you to calibrate the sensitivity of the musical output based on the prevailing local wind patterns.

Finish the internal seating area with a wrap-around bench that features built-in resonance chambers to amplify the low-frequency tones produced by the pipes.
