Aeolian wind harp sounding in Elqui Valley of Chile (exactly in the "Reservoir Puclaro”, 70km from La Serena).

This wind sculpture is facing the wind and 4 cords are vibrating. You can find more info about the sculpture on http://www.sonidocreativo.cl/?p=624

The project is called "Imagenes Eolicas del Elqui" and has been done by Mario Arenas Avarrete in La Serena, January 2006.
