I was really hoping they'd record each of the 36 notes individually at some point in the video so they could be used for samples. One could of course pick one of the keys in the video as the base sample and transpose it; but that's defeating the purpose really being that each note has a timbre all its own, even moreso than you'd usually expect. Hopefully someone will do that one day so this beautiful instrument can be used with samplers or to make a VST.

I actually have been here and I managed to catch them playing a song on it, it was played automatically but it was the actual sounds from the cave, but honestly there were parts of the cave that made me kinda sad because there were so many parts where you could tell some tourists had just come along and messed things up a whole bunch, but the instrument is absolutely beautiful and being in this cavern was a wonderful experience
Man, when Rob had him give him a melody on the piano and he followed suit.. it was so gorgeous, I can't even describe it. I am so grateful to have witnessed such a beautiful improvisation. I have to go to this cave before I die just for the sure beauty. This place gives the feeling of bliss.

when you two played together, guitar and cave i nearly cried, absolute goosebumps.. so powerful, and im sure it must sound even more magical in person than on recording
I visited here in 2015 with my aunt and uncle who lived nearby at the time. Surprisingly, not too many people there. Hearing the organ is one of the most beautiful, ethereal and otherworldly experiences I've had the privilege of enjoying. If you find yourself in the area you have to go!
To hear the Earth sing... wow. Shivers. :) It's beautiful. It's amazing what humans are capable of creating working with nature. Literally. These guys gave Gaia a singing voice, and it is wondrously grand. I need to hear this in real life. Hearing you play along with the Earth is just so beautiful in so many ways. I'm a musician - a singer - and if anyone is wondering how these two could create music together having never rehearsed together, we - musicians - have an ability to 'read' one another when we shift into music mode. It's something that can't really be explained. It's more felt than anything. Those who are trained can 'hear' each other more clearly using that skill and knowledge of music, but anyone with musical talent has that innate skill. I have a powerful need to sing in this cavern now.

Yes! What's crazy is they originally composed "In the Cave" for their 2007 album _Spare Time Machine_ but when they asked about recording on the Great Stalacpipe Organ, they found out it was under repairs. So they chose to drop "In the Cave" from _Spare Time Machine_ and use the song on their next album instead. Said next album, _Queen of the Wave_ wound up being an adaptation of a mystical novel from the 1800s... which just happened to feature a scene with an organ recital inside a cave. This coincidence was just too good to pass up. So when they finished the rest of _Queen of the Wave_ and heard the Great Stalacpipe Organ was _still_ under repair, this time they waited for the repairs to finish. They delayed the album two years just so they could include that song, played on the proper instrument.

I'm pretty sure I went there once when I was a kid. Never realized it had something so unique.
This is absolutely unbelievable! When I was in high school, I wrote a story about a cave that had a pipe organ in it. The lady who played it was named Melody. She had a tiny finger symbol on the end of each strand of her hair. Imagine what sound that would make when she moved her head or her hair floated in the wind. Of course, the sound occurred along with the sounds of the organ she was playing. I never knew there could be something like this.
Wow, an intersection between one of my favorite KZreadrs and one of my favorite albums! I first learned about the Great Scalacpipe Organ through a podcast that was reviewing the Pepe Deluxe album “Queen of the Wave”. I learned that one of their songs for that album was played and recorded on this specific instrument. Over ten years later, here I see Rob playing the same instrument. Truly incredible!
This is awesome! I live about 45 minutes south of Luray and I'm stoked you got to experience the caverns. The Great Stalacpipe Organ is so sick
I actually went to Luray Caverns back in September 2022 and believe me, It sounds INSANE in person!
I visited the caverns as a thirteen year-old in 1975. It is still just as amazing and spellbinding as it was then! Thank you for an awesome memory!
Seeing the high and euphoria on robs face when he walked in, as well as when he got to strike the keys on the organ really speaks volumes to the nature of music, and how it can be found anywhere, even in nature itself.
The end ambient with the silence and dripping is radically inspirational for my own musical thoughts - what a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing!
I had chills throughout my entire body any time they played it. This is the coolest and most soothing instrument I've ever seen/heard and it's only a couple of hours away from me. I HAVE to visit.
I live on the other side of the mountain next to Luray and it’s so cool to see you highlight the caverns! The area is absolutely full of caves. Lots of local schools bring their students there to hear the organ. Super cool to see you highlight something so close to home!
So many insane and awesome qualities! The fact that it can pick up radio on the resonance is just one more wild thing about it!
This seems like something Minecraft should totally look into for music when you’re in those huge caverns they added
12:47 I could have died listening to this and I would have been perfectly happy. Pure bliss
This is...just...so amazing. That little bit of playing you guys did made me feel like I'm touring the caves myself, with a whole story splayed out before me. Thanks for granting us access for such wonderful instruments!
The last piece you played is so peaceful and resonates perfectly in the cave. ❤
This is a certified Scallon classic.
The music that came from this is so beautiful to me, I think it should be played through the cave at all times, feel like I’m back in my nostalgic days of Minecraft
Such a pure natural tone from the rocks mixed with an industrial sound from the solenoids
I visited the caverns as a child and have always wanted to go back with some instruments. This is incredible.
From a production standpoint this video took a ton of work. Mixing the delicate sounds of a cave with voices and a guitar is crazy. Great work!
Man this is such a special channel. Thank you Rob for sharing so many beautiful things with us. You make KZread a much better place!
I've been using these videos as part of our home schooling music education while we eat lunch. My kids have learned so much and love it. They want to play all the interesting instruments Rob has introduced us to.
You kept that footage in where the fan asked for a pic, and I'm certain that fact made his whole freakin' year dude. So cool.
My mom went here when she was a kid and still has records of the music that they played back in the late 70's.
There needs to be a spotify playlist of this cave organ! It's gorgeous.. what a thing to exist!
loved the duet you two played. very cool vibe. awesome reverb the cave provided.
I am now patiently waiting for you to create the ultimate piece using as many unique instruments as you can giant Bass Sitar, shovel, Carillon bells, the cave organ, glass armonica, pipe organ and so much more.
Im a luray native born and raised here my whole life never did I think Rob would be around the area much less in the cave its so awesome to see you Rob with the organ and its truly an amazing thing to hear the organ in person I myself have heard it a handful of times but Rob thank you for showing how beautiful the organ is
the fact that the organist had seen this instrument when he was 6 and realized that dream is incredible. some people find their calling and it us so beautiful to see
In spite of all that is wrong in the world, videos with people like this, making new sounds, discovering new worlds of sound on the spot - this makes life good. Thank you, Rob.
The duets are always my favorite part of these videos! Lovely!!
