New Orleans singing oak recorded by Silas van der Swaagh.

"The Singing Oak, or Chime Tree, provides shade and coordinated melodies from the beautiful wind chimes hung in the giant oak by local artist Jim Hart. The instruments range in size, with one of them reaching a length of 14 feet. The chimes are all tuned to ring out in the pentatonic scale. 

"The Chime Tree is located in City Park, in New Orleans, LA."
