several unique and amazing musical instruments, as well.
One such instrument is the Las Pias Bamboo Organ. This
musical instrument is the only one of its kind in the world. It is made up
mostly of bamboo. This bamboo organ stands tall with 5 meters in height.
It has 900 tubes, 94% of which are made of bamboo.
The construction of this masterpiece was no easy task. A priest
named Fr. Diego Cera de la Virgen del Carmen, a native of Spain, worked
on building it with the help of the people of Las Pias. He began his work
in 1816. It took them 8 years to finish the organ in 1824. This musical
instrument is now 184 years.
The Bamboo Organ is very significant in the cultural and historical
heritage of the Filipinos. That is why the National Museum of the
Philippines declared it as a National Cultural Treasure. It is something
all Filipinos can be proud of.
