Who has the biggest organ in the world? No not me (blush), not John Holmes, not even Roberto Esquivel Cabrera.
It’s the Atlantic City Municipal Auditorium. Not just the biggest organ but the biggest musical instrument in the world.

It has 7 keyboards, and 33,112 pipes from 6mm(0.236 in) to 19.4m(763.8 in or 63.65 ft).
The auditorium is yuge, 13,000 sq m(139,931 sq ft) so higher pipe air pressure is needed to be loud enough.

It's one of only two organs in the world with an open 64' stop, whatever that means.
