Ĭonstruction of the organ took place between May 1929 and December 1932. It is one of only two organs in the world to have an open 64-foot rank, and the only organ to have stops voiced on 100 inches of wind pressure (about 3.6 psi). The organ has four entries in Guinness World Records, including "Largest pipe organ ever constructed", "Largest musical instrument ever constructed" and "Loudest musical instrument ever constructed", and holds several records in the organ world. Consequently, the organ runs on much higher wind pressures than most organs in order to achieve a volume loud enough to fill the hall. It is the largest organ in the world, as measured by the number of pipes (officially 33,112, but the exact number is unknown). The Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ is the pipe organ in the Main Auditorium of the Boardwalk Hall (formerly known as the Atlantic City Convention Hall) in Atlantic City, New Jersey, built by the Midmer-Losh Organ Company.
