The way all the instruments are harmoniously tuned to each other is also among the park’s distinctive features.

Even the instruments are unique – each is made mostly of found and re-purposed materials.

The highlight of the park, though, is no doubt the 20-foot-long chime, known as Give Peace A Chance (GPAC).
