Luray Caverns in Virginia is home to the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a one-of-a-kind lithophone created by mathematician Leland Sprinkle in the 1950s. Sprinkle transformed stalactites into concert-pitch notes using electrically operated mallets and steel bolts, turning a natural wonder into a giant musical instrument.
