My Organ Is Nicer Than Yours



 
Tipu’s Tiger, a life-size, working mechanical organ. That happens to be shaped like a tiger eating a man. When cranked, you can hear the tiger growling happily as the man wails in agony. The  tiger automaton was made for Tipu Sultan, ruler of Mysore in South India from 1782-1799.
