The cave organ is a ground breaking instrument
-
“And here we find rob scallon in his natural environment: surrounded by instruments and drenched in reverb”
-
It always amazes me how within a couple minutes of meeting each other and with no advance planning a couple of musicians can be improvising a song that has never been heard before, and it sounds so perfect and beautiful.
-
I love how that G# just decided it wanted to be an AM radio station
-
As a geologist and a musician, this rocks
-
This is wicked. Now imagine a cover of Minecraft's songs with this cave organ. Fitting.
-
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!
-
They must have based the Minecraft music tones off of these cave notes. This is so cool. Also, I am always in awe of how personable Rob is with anyone he meets, he seems like such a genuinely great guy.
-
This is so freaking cool
-
Kudos to the sound guy for keeping this balanced. What a unique and difficult environment to work with.
-
I love Otto. He radiates the love he has for the instrument and his appreciation of the millions of years that went into its creation, and it's just incredible. Otto is as much a part of the instrument as the rest, I think. Beautiful video as always, thanks Rob!
-
Rob: “I wish I played keyboard” Also Rob: Proceeds to play keyboard easily.
-
This puts a new meaning to rock music.
-
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
-
I would PAY to see an episode where this cave organist team, the Carillion Folks, and giant pipe organ people each go around visiting the other's respective Giant instruments, touring, playing, and watching them all nerd out together with Rob. Sounds like it would make for a cool video to me at least!
-
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
-
Just when I think Rob can’t find any crazier instruments, he pulls out a whole cave
-
As someone who does alot of cinematic music, I need this as a virtual instrument. I really hope someone makes it happen.
-
For this I'd love a binaural audio recording, where you can really make out where all these notes and the reflections of them come from around the room.

My mother played this instrument back in the 1950’s when she was house organist at Constitution Hall with the National symphony orchestra, and before that at the John Wanamaker store organ in the 1940’s. The audience was thrilled with what sounds she accomplished underground.
