luray caverns, va. from the website: "Stalactites covering 3 1/2 acres of the surrounding caverns produce tones of symphonic quality when electronically tapped by rubber-tipped mallets. This one-of-a-kind instrument was conceived by Mr. Leland W. Sprinkle of Springfield, Virginia, a mathematician and electronics scientist at the Pentagon."
this was seriously amazing to hear.
They have an automated system, a bit like a player piano, so it's actually the real organ, but not being played by a human.

oh geez, how terrible...this is the most lonliest footage I've ever seen...no one is actually playing the organ? Kind of makes me wonder if they just didn't put some monitors some ways a way and played a pushbutton recording.
