internationalicon *stalagmite concert

*Hahaha, I don’t get it.*

I mean if you’re just gonna say it

tour guide made this joke

Lol

A bit different than the cavern the Beatles played at

Technically, all instruments are made from the earth.

@@pwnsyou82i mean you’re not wrong

why is it haunting please explain

@@MrZootSuitz it’s haunting in the ambience it creates

@@ambush_akula5261 I̶ ̶s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ just kidding you are basic

i'd stay there so long i'd die of thirst. this music is beautiful

Not me.. Id stick around

Yo, wow!

Yup

He wouldn't even hear me! I would only whisper whenever I'd be around him, therefore rendering any of those events completely useless.

@@featheryfemme one word: paper

@@justabrony2213 That would be writing, not speaking.

@@featheryfemme eh, you got the idea tho

Lol clair de lune would be nice too... a lot of pieces would be amazing to hear

It'd probably cause an earthquake.

@@featheryfemme lol

@@manuelbes lol

@@xiiaohao3871 imagine someone playing Liszt or Rachmaninoff on this thing !

This is my first time hearing it and the fake drops falling at "random times" current ruins it for me. Why?! Just, why?!?!

The instrument covers about 3 acres. There's no method of recording it without some of the drops being louder.

@Isaac Hladky uh, that was clearly a compliment

they cut it until they finds desired tone

It took 4 years to shave down the stalactites, and hundreds of thousands of years for nature to form the stalactites themselves.

37 notes are more than enough to play this song

I have a copy of this entire CD... as well as the 'earlier gift shop recordings' of the actual organ, including a 45 rpm with a cool introduction by a guy named John Bacheldor.

Bernie Marinakis I bet you’re great at parties, thanks for the info tho sincerely good to know

I bet standing inside is still incredible. It's in surround

@@Titan52berg ok

Christiaan Baron wow. You're a total piece of shit.

I think this has nothing to do with Aztecs, and that the belief that some righteous deity is smiting whole cultures for putported violent acts (non of which have you substsntiated)is completely insane. You're either a troll or truly stupid enough to believe your own flow of crap.

Nikolas Sanow Don't argue with crazy people, it's like screaming at a brick wall.

A skeleton that is both spooky and scary​ it is so difficult to ignore anti-logic sometimes

***** should you not?

I did!

It’s very small, but I never heard it play.

Yes.

Siii

Sip

Si Xd, pero esque tio, los instrumentos eran la ostia.

I'm sitting here, with a sore, congested throat and pounding headache. And this is so soothing! I believe it's appropriate to sit here with my ceramic tankard with a litte dragon, full of tea and relax to these soothing tones.

Every time i hear moonlight sonata i think of moonlight sonata

I AM A DWARF AND IM DIGGING A HOLE

2 years later, I hope you are okay.

​@@AUS5555 fortunately yes... thank you so much for asking ❤

@@shaswatichakraborty1006 All the best, I hope you've managed to find solace and peace of mind over time ❤

You mean the clicking/ dripping noises? Thats the actual instrument not the speakers that make the organ sounds.

Water

***** you are garbage, get lost.

Actually, I manage one of the major show caves in America and travel the world educating the public on speleology and exploring the most extensive cave systems on Earth. It does do damage. Calcite is composed of microscopic crystals as delicate as snowflakes. The crystalline edges are what allows it to grow. Rubber mallets destroy that crystal lattice network. Also, for the people that think human enjoyment is more important than nature preservation, I'll inform you that microbial extremophiles have been found that live within the crystals, some of which destroy luchemiea cells. So what you think causes no damage is actually destroying microscopic ecosystems, ones capable of curing major human diseases. Don't get me wrong, I like the stalacpipe organ, but I'm not going to be ignorant and pretend it causes no harm. Simply standing in a cave negatively impacts calcite, so of course hitting it causes damage. However, it's an extremely commercialized cave, so the damage has been done. Please do some research before you tell someone they don't know what they're talking about cause it's a good chance that it's their career and area of expertise, such as in this case.

Ummmm, the stalactites are the speleothems. People don't get to enjoy the stalactites is what you're saying? That makes no sense. The stalactites are what make the entire thing.

What's garbage is the people that think the destruction of nature for a few minutes of human enjoyment is justifiable, I presume you fall into that category.

Don't make public statements that are based on opinion and absolutely no research. Why do you think they tell you not to touch the calcite? Because it does damage. Not just because of human oils, that's the quick answer to satisfy the simple minded. Every physical graze causes harm to the crystalline network that allows them to grow. AND did you know that to get the perfect pitch they wanted from the speleothems that they grinder them down with a grinder. I assume you did not know that because if you knew that you would know that that completely destroyed the growth of the formations. The mallets do cause damage but the damage is being done to a section that was already demolished.
