The Great Stalacpipe Organ (a cave that you play)

So, I googled “biggest instrument in the world”…

This was originally posted on March 19th and up for 2 hours or so before I released I posted it before it was actually done.

This is a reupload with its final audio pass :)

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on its own too

“And here we find rob scallon in his natural environment: surrounded by instruments and drenched in reverb”

[wadesomerville]

As a geologist and a musician, this rocks

[SD-unlimited]

Kudos to the sound guy for keeping this balanced. What a unique and difficult environment to work with.

[Hafragrautur]

This puts a new meaning to rock music.

[MrLanceDaily]

Someone should create a sample pack of the organ notes including the radio interference.
Imagine these beautiful timbres turned into anything imaginable with a MIDI keyboard

Just when I think Rob can’t find any crazier instruments, he pulls out a whole cave

[Eden]

As someone who does alot of cinematic music, I need this as a virtual instrument.

I really hope someone makes it happen.

How incredible! Three thoughts: entered my mind…
1. I’m pretty sure hundreds of millions of kids young and old alike would be very familiar with this instrument had Daniel Rosenfeld had access to it while designing the Minecraft soundtrack.
2. A softer, gentler Walter White on cave keys.
3. To say this is the biggest instrument is a HUGE understatement. You were literally playing a planet!

That moment when musical Tom Scott figured out how to really play on the absurd instrument taking a back seat and doing much less. Chills. Absolute chills

Living in VA, Luray was something I've kind of grown tired of since it's one of those easy field trip type places. But seeing others enjoy it for the first time really does bring me back to when I still had that sense of wonder about the place. Walking through there as a kid and randomly hearing faint bell like sounds and being told that it was the cave blew my mind.
Still love the mirror lake tho

[nitelast]

This feels like the kind of instrument where whoever gets in front of that keyboard, however talented they are, just ends up playing the most calming cave ambience

[milesmiller]

He should make a whole album these two instruments

[nuclearbrotherhood]

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.

[Scythe]

12:47 Omg the outer wilds theme NEEDS to be performed here. With the different instruments placed in different areas throughout the cave.... I heard it on that guitar for a split second and it MUST HAPPEN!

Also Rob, if you have never heard that soundtrack, treat yourself.

[loopinnerthe]

Thank you Rob for finding and playing the cave organ for us. You and Otto just touched my soul.

[Starrfish]

Now I can tell people Rob is the best underground artist

[kevincullen]

Respect to rob for bringing his studio engineer! He brought the guy that would appreciate the unique sound dynamics the most! 💚🔥🔥🔥

In 2018 and 2019 I was a tour guide at Luray Caverns. It was such a magical place to be. I will never have a job that felt more fulfilling than that.

[seso_simio]

i grew up in VA and went to Luray Caverns multiple times... this was my favorite part... so cool to see it getting some love

[bluecrystalwolfqueen]

Oh my gosh, so happy this instrument finally gets the recognition it deserves! I first saw the Luray Caverns and heard the organ when I was about 8 years old, and never forgot that beautiful sound...my dream is to play it myself one day
