Davy Jones' organ prop from Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest...

In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Bill Nighy plays the squid-faced 'Davy Jones'. In the 2006 movie sequel, the infamous pirate plays this coral encrusted pipe organ aboard his ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman, to unleash his anguish and fury over the loss of his beloved sea goddess, 'Calypso'.
