- Three years ago on this day I went to House on The Rock with the birthday boy (actually on 8/4) @dspiffy as well as @MetalPete_the_metalfan and a couple of fan collectors from Massachusetts, Mark Wilson (@The_Fancave) and @Emanfan96.
This was my first time being there since I was a kid.
8/2024...Great video! Fun place,....I went there with friends to House on the Rock around 1985. I was 32. It was a life changing experience. I was already an eccentric collector of quirky junk. I built sculptures from found junk. Like old musical instruments, early prosthetic legs, mannequin limbs. I could have gotten my hands on some old pipe organs that were being dismantled, 2 years ago. Both were coming from churches in working condition, but no interested parties. One was being taken apart and sold by the piece, at a local salvage warehouse reseller. I got to handle and (blow) on an early 1800s era, 4 ft. long, dusty, handcrafted, wooden pipe. It took a full breath to produce a mellow (pipe)organ note. It was more of a flute sound. Many organ pipes were made of metal. Early pipe organs produced sound by pumping bellows of air into the pipes. As a singular antique artifact, for sale, it wasn't cheap and I didn't buy it. I was collecting weird stuff, long before seeing "the House" collection.
@@AidenCullinan-y5n I think it was more real, back in the 80s. Though even then I questioned exactly how the sounds were produced. I'd seen other self playing instruments that used small air pumps, and mechanical things. Hard to believe I was there 39 years ago. Those original machines, must have worn out dozens of times, and to extend the life of the illusion, one has to assume, they eventually upgraded them to use audio track recordings.
