The hydraulic organ of the Organ Fountain

Quirinale Palace

Quirinale Palace
Rome, Italy

The instrument plays thanks to a hydraulic system that uses the fall of water to give air to the pipes. It can be operated with a keyboard or, automatically, through the so-called "phonotactic cylinder", a large metal roller that can be glimpsed under the organist's station.
