Where is the world's largest pipe organ located
The largest organ in the world, based on number of pipes, is located in Boardwalk Hall (formerly known as the Atlantic City Convention Hall) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was built from 1929 till 1932. It cost approximately $500,000 and was built at the height of the Great Depression. The effort nearly bankrupted the Midmer-Losh organ firm, which led to decades of debate as to whether it was actually completed. Recent evidence suggests it was.
It has over 33,000 pipes and over 1000 stops. The average church organ has around 1,000 pipes and 10- 30 stops. It is also the Largest and loudest musical instrument constructed. It is the only organ in the world to have pipes on 100" wind pressure. Most organs use 3" - 8" wind pressure. It is also has the worlds largest organ pipe, the 64ft Diaphone.

The Convention Hall organ in Atlantic City is not only the largest pipe organ, but also the largest musical instrument ever constructed. Unfortunately, it is no longer operational.
The largest operational pipe organ (28,522 pipes) is the Wanamaker Organ in the Macy's Center City Department Store in Philadelphia, PA. This organ has the most number of ranks or sets of pipes in the world
