The Singing Oak New Orleans, LA 70124

"If it's a little windy, you can listen to the music of the tree and relaxe. The sounds are really nice to listen to."

"Beautiful. Peaceful. Serene. Sitting under this oak as the music filled the air was a spiritual experience. So glad I got to be there with this amazing tree!"

"The melodious tree towers in the heart of City Park, just down the road from the New Orleans Museum of Art. During the summer, the oak provides a reprieve from the sultry Louisiana heat and enchanting tunes from the wind chimes strung from the branches. The chimes are all tuned to ring out in the pentatonic scale and are painted black to blend in with the plant’s natural shadows. The instruments range in size, with one of them reaching a length of 14 feet. The harmonious effect is that of a relaxing, tinkling symphony. Although the Singing Oak is in plain sight of visitors, not many people know about this hidden New Orleans gem. Take a few minutes to sit beneath the Chime Tree and walk away just a little bit more relaxed than when you arrived. Copied from Atlas Obscura."

"When the wind blows you can sit under these branches and hear a symphony playing above you. Its another of the more unknown spots in the city. What it is most of all is something different right at Big Lake and off the path to the museum of art. Worth a visit if you're out that way,"

"Spoiler Alert: The Singing Oak sings because there is a bunch of wind chimes installed onto a big oak tree. Some of the wind chimes are incredibly large and produce such beautiful sounds. This is a great spot to relax and chill out while traversing through Zemurray Trail around the Big Lake."
