Bamboo Organ - built by Father Diego Cera.
The Las Pińas Bamboo Organ is one of the Philippines' national treasures. It's home is the Parish Church of St Joseph located in Las Pińas City. Having previously built organs in Manila area with some organ stops made of bamboo Fr. Diego Cera de la Virgen del Carmen chose bamboo for most of this organ, and only the trumpet stops are made of metal. The choice of bamboo was probably both practical and aesthetic - bamboo was abundant and used for hundreds of items, both a practical and an artistic nature. It took him eight years to finish the organ.
